All our guys around here use Sig, Glock, or HK..... I don't know of a single military or law enforcment group using 1911's. Not saying they don't, just not around here.
The 1911 is a great gun, to say different would be a lie. Is it the do all end all gun for everyone, no... No gun is.

A quick Google provided this....do not know how accurate it is & it's a little over a year old..now it does not prove anything more than gee whiz factor..and I know a couple guys on different PD's who carry 1911's but they are not on the list (and they are Western states) any my local SO is not on the list & they can carry the 1911....

Some are carrying 1911's.....not many, but yep they do have a presence in/around the White House... & Regan carried a 1911 while in office as the President & told the Secret Service something to the effect that he could help them if needed...

Secret Service standard issue is/was either the Sig P229 in 357 SIG or the FN Five-Seven in (obviously) 5.7x28.
As with nearly every other high level military/LE division, I would imagine a few agents probably have been tested and cleared to pack a 1911 variant, as well as other weapons....the exception, not the rule.
