I know, I know I am going to get bashed for making such a comparison. Apparently 2 VERY different guns for 2 different purposes: One a respectable 1911 target gun and one a polymer service pistol. But, please bear with me a moment:
1) I have several handguns, none of them being .45 ACP.
2) I want a .45 ACP
3) I only want to get one handgun in that caliber
4) Being in Canada, I strictly use my handguns target shooting at an official gun range
5) I appreciate precision
6) The more expensive 1911 Colt seems to fit the bill much more
BUT
7) The M and P is much easier to dissassemble and therefore clean so it might see more range time
8) It is less expensive
9) So I could have more money for ammo or another gun...
So what do you guys say ?
Again sorry for the more sensitive souls who will have been shocked by such an awkward comparison.
Thanks for your patience and answers
