I own SEVERAL DOZEN compact 1911 pistols, carry one daily and reliability with a well designed sub-4" 1911 is NOT an issue.I have heard a lot of discussion about the lack of reliability of compact 1911's (officers, compact, anything less than 4"). But nothing from anyone with first hand experience with one. I'm looking got the good, the bad, and the ugly (if you can call a 1911 ugly) of owning a sub 4" 1911.
I like the accuracy question. Any notable difference at reasonable distance?[/QUOTE said:Accuracy of almost any modern handgun is only limited by the capabilities of the operator. Just my but I think that opinion is shared by many.
This discussion so far is about compacts operating properly. How are they on accuracy?
