The Colt 1911 was a good gun for its time. But it has long been superseded by many other guns.

The military has tried others but have gone back to the 1911 several times. I will take the 1911 over others as personal preference.

Military purchases are not necessarily an indication that the 1911 is the best option out there. There is a lot of politics involved, the best products are not always selected.
