Sorry to be pedantic but the mk23 is absolutely not “basically” an m1911 unless your only criteria is that it is a .45 ACP pistol with a browning tilting barrel locking mechanics common to most modern pistols.
But yes, the constant bouncing back and forth between a lighter recoiling, higher capacity pistol caliber like the 9mm and a caliber like the .45 ACP in search of a higher “stopping” effect that might be significantly overestimated has been a real pendulum throughout history.
Nah man, no need for apology, pedantry is what we’re all about!

I believe you must be thinking of a few limited 1911 modernization and revival runs that got us the the M45A1 CQBP but never saw proper adoption.
