I have a 70 year old one. It still runs.
Did you get it for your first birthday?

I'm here to stir ****. Honestly though, I have seen more 1911's fail at matches then any other.
I believe the correct nomenclature is "7.7 Japanese ammo" is hard to find....Speaking of "hard to find" what's up brother?
BANZAI!!!!!!!!!
Do "mice" eat "Bugs"?
Let me ask you this.........What is the majority of the competitors running in your series.
I do not compete but I do shoot. We run the snot out of our guns. Maybe not at the level of a serious competition but way more than the average guy does. Just have to think very hard to remember any failures. Had a mechanical failure on a Para my son put in excess of 10 K through. That gun had ate a load of +p in its service life.
i had to beat a 1911 apart with a dead blow hammer thst had a squib then the guy racked it.......it would never run again....
Apparently glock can't handle the almighty 45 ACP.
Having to beat apart a 1911 with a bulged barrel from a squib actually became pretty common when progressive presses became affordable and lots of new reloaders bought one without having a clue how to reload ammo. I know I saw a lot of this and in every single case it was (a) brand new reloader, (b) brand new Dillon press, (c) squib followed by a live round, (d) shooter was clueless as to why it happened. Some would blame it on the gun, the powder, the load data...... I am sure that it is still happening but in the early 90s it was almost funny. (fortunately nobody was injured in the cases I saw) As far as the whole Glock thing - the ONLY reason a manufacturer would make a pistol frame out of plastic it - it's cheaper and faster for them. That is the only reason. Sure, they have to spend more money up front to produce molds and buy the injection molding machine but then it costs almost nothing to crank those frames out. Think about that while you consider the price of a new Glock compared to an all steel gun.
