Check this out Raz if you have not seen one. I looked at them last weekend and really cool. Very high quality made in Italy.

Now THERE's something you don't see everyday. I want one.
About $4-6000 but quite impressive. Both barrels go off when you pull the trigger so you shoot 14 bullets with 7 trigger pulls. A bit large for IWB. 
A bit easier and cheaper to buy two pistols isn't it?
Depends, a good quality custom 1911 is going to start out around $2000 and quickly go up to $4000. But you can buy nice factory 1911's for $800-1200
He says, as if the factory ones aren't good quality. ;-)
And many are not but a few are. What I was actually attempting to portray was the good factory ones start out around $800. Lots of $400-600 stuff available that are less than reliable and will not repeat with anything but hardball ammo, Springfield and Colts are upwards of $800 now with sigs and Kimbers starting near $900 and up. Those are probably the only 4 I would personally consider buying stock but would plan on some minor professional tuning. Just I mHO
With a modicum of skill with hand tools, it's fairly straightforward to increase the reliability of a cheapo 1911, even with hollowpoints. Increasing accuracy and durability is a taller order, and that's where the guns get more expensive. An accurate 1911 is one made to exacting tolerances and fitted by hand. Labor costs increase logarithmically. A durable gun means the pieces are made from high-quality metals and carefully inspected. More labor.
All this said, I'm kinda old school. I appreciate the beauty, smoothness and accuracy of the Kimbers, Wilsons, and others. But if I can't defend myself with whatever weapon I can get my hands on, I'm not ready for the shit to hit the fan. My 1943 Colt has never so much as teased about a failure to feed or fire, and I can put all eight rapidly into center mass at 50 feet, which is probably about 20 feet more than I'm likely to have in an "oh fuck scenario." I use Wilson magazines because they hold an extra and I know they're going to drop out the gun when I hit the button, but I don't have any fancy mag-wells or beaver tails because I've spent so much time practicing with my gun that my hands know what goes where.
There truly is nothing like a well-manufactured and tuned weapon, but it's knowing your gun that will really save your life.
