I've owned several of Wilson and Nighthawk each. The Wilson hands down for me. Best trigger of any gun I have ever fired, resulting in unbelievable groupings. Also, their aesthetic is a little less flashy than some of the others, which suits me as well.

Wilson Combat. I havent owned one, or any of the poll. But for looks, and sex appeal, I would take a Wilson.

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point
Any 1911 is suitable, so long as you apply the proper fundamentals of shooting. Here they are, in case you need reminding:

Grip, stance, sight alignment, sight picture, breath control, trigger control, and followthrough.

Apply all of those simultaneously and your shots will be where you want them, guaranteed.
