Just get a series 70 1911 of some sort and be happy with it. At the very least, you can customize every part on it, and find parts for it in any SHTF situation. 
Springfield XD .45 Vs. Colt 1911
I've finally picked what caliber I want. Im going .45!
I should have known from the very start. Seeing as I love to shoot the "man stopper." But now of course, Im faced with the issue of what gun to purchase. I've pretty much narrowed my top choices to the Springfield XD or a Colt 1911.
I've shot the Springfield in 9mm and loved it. I've gotten no bad remarks about it from anybody that I've talked to.
I could rapid fire the 9mm and hit a target in the sternum from 25 yards out with no hesitation. I really loved that gun.
The only problem is that I may pick a 1911.
I love a Colt, I've held one and it was the perfect size for my hand. It just felt completely right and it was a beautiful piece of work sitting there in that cabinet with the light gleaming off the slide. It just whispered, "buy me!" Haha.
But I am so stuck...the XD isnt as pretty but it costs less.
So I guess what Im stuck with now is the decision of going for paper or plastic...well, steel or "plastic" in this case. lol.
Let me know what you think! Suggestions still apply.

Yeah, but if you need more than 8 rounds (or 9 with a Wilson Combat 8 round mag), you'll already have found cover and have time to reload. Either that, or you shouldn't own any guns due to poor marksmenship. Infact, I feel perfectly comfortable with only 5 rounds.
I like the Springfield BTW. LOTS. Especially the GI or the Mil-Spec.
