Colt 1991 Review

I know I want a 1911 pistol. I'm familiar with handling them and field striping them, but have never owned one. I'm on the fence between the Springfield Loaded and the Colt 1991 pistol.

However, some argue the Series 70 is the way to go for my first 1911 versus the Series 80 1991 model.

Any thoughts and/or input on if I'm making the wrong choice with the Colt 1991 Series 80 pistol for my first 1911?

All these people trash talking the 1911, combined with my past experience with an unreliable Springfield, are making me leery about buying another 1911 for self defense. But I really would love to buy one of those Colts for home defense and ccw!
