I would say it depends on which 1911 or revolver you are talking about.
Any brand name will most likely be more accurate than the shooter and plenty accurate for a SD handgun.
Which is faster, a convertible or a coupe?
Which is taller, a building or a tree?
Which gets better fuel economy, a truck or an SUV?
WOW that helped the OP out, thanks for the input.

^ this, plus for me I shoot a Kimber TLE Custom II a lot better than I can shoot a revolver, but I've shoot the 1911's way more. You really need to try out both styles first and then see which fits you better. They both have their pluses and minuses. Since you are in the Fort Wayne area and so am I, I have a couple of different 1911 sizes you can try but no revolvers. Let me know.
and your post helped out how?
OP.... there are alot of variables included in this question... age condition, make and manufacturer of the gun for starters... second is YOUR ability to shoot it... i have extensive training, and send a TON of rounds downrange every year and my pistols still outshoot me.... so the real question, is which one fills your intended roll better, and is more comforitable in your hand for YOU to carry and shoot.
How much shooting experience do you have?
Most SD situations don't require a super accurate weapon. They do require familiarity and proficiency though.
As the old saying goes, "It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian."
Or, as Col. Cooper put it, "Owning a gun makes one a gunman about like owning a piano makes one a musician."
I ask because I will be working on my property which could present a need for possibly long shots on predators (most likely 4 legged) like coyotes. This would also double as a concealed handgun in winter months for sure and summer months if comfortable/concealable.
