   Compareing the two are like compareing pickups to cars to me, and I like both for different reasons and uses. Have not shot in any calibers but 45, shot both in two different guns each. Was surprised that both shot one big ragged hole at 25 yards. I am a 1911 fan and lean toward them, but after shooting a couple of the 24/7's, can't say anything bad about them. It would be your money, and your call. That doesn't answer your question, but it is from someone that shot and looked at both. Have bought 3 of the Trackers in 45ACP, a 4" barrel and 2 in 6 1/2". I'm really a revolver fan for first choice, but will probably buy one of the 1911's when I find one in stainless.

Have not shot the 1911 but have the 24/7. The 24/7 is a very accurate gun and the one I shot was dependable. The trigger was soft and long took some getting used to. I have handled the 1911 and If I where to buy one probably go with the 1911. Trigger is crisp and short, slide is tight and overall it just felt better. Your call I think either one will do the trick.
