Opinions on 1911's?

I'm considering many guns for concealed carry and all ways had the 1911 in the back of my mind but never really considered it until now. The only drawback is the mag cpacity of only 7 or 8 rounds. I know you're going to say that it doesn't matter if you hit your target but i like at least 10. Is the 1911 a practical idea for concealed carry? If i land up getting a 1911 i'm going to get a wilson or a kimber. Any suggestions on anything i should do to them or are they pretty much good out of the box? Opinions are appreciated.
