What makes a "good" 1911.

I am not going to compare brands.

We're going to assume for the sake of discussion that quality is moot.  You've chosen a brand that you like and trust.

What features are must have?

What got me to thinking about this was a link to Kimber's Desert Warrior.  It's real similar to Springfield Armory's Full-Size MC Operator.  It's got a railed dust cover, ambidextrous safety, extended grip safety, skeletonized hammer, extended trigger and more visible sights.  Everything you could need or want, right?

All I want over an issue USGI M1911A1 is sights that are easier to see.  Honest.

I know that this is a contentious issue.  But what do you like and why?  You don't get to tell someone else they are wrong; just state your preference.
