What makes the s&w model 41

First topic message reminder :

so desirable?  Is the grip angle close to the 1911?  I know from what I’ve read they are accurate.  Just curious what makes it all that!  I love the way they look.

Thank you everyone for the insight.  Some very good points to think about.

I've had my Performance Center 41 for a couple of months. I've put 150 rounds of CCI SV through it without a hiccup. Can't speak to the accuracy of the pistol since I can't yet hit squat one handed. I replaced the factory grips with the CCM frame conversion which are pretty close to 1911 slabs.
