The M1911 sucks though. People only use them because they have brainworms about .45 outperforming 9mm. Almost everyone uses modern double stack 9mm pistols now.
The M1911 is definitely not a regular weapon in the US military. They probably still have a bunch but they replaced it as the standard pistol with the M9 a few decades ago.

My understanding is that the Marines only finally gave up their 1911 variant in 2018 with the military standardized on the Sig 320.
