Before I start asking for opinions, I would like to briefly summarize my personal experience with the 1911. I love the way it looks, how it shoots, and the brilliant history it carries; however, I have had nothing but sub-par experiences with a couple of them. I purchased a Colt 1911 (1991 series) two years ago that performed like.. well.. crap. The feed ramp was polished, barrel throated, "break in" period observed and it still would FTF or FTE once every 50 rounds. To top it all off, I used wilson mags. No limp wristing either. I have a buddy that has a kimber and a para that malfunction every time he shoots it without fail, and he has also taken the necessary action to make them "reliable"
I really want to love the 1911 and own one again, but I only own firearms that are 100% reliable even in the worst circumstances (glock 5,000 rounds, beretta m9 8,000 rounds, ak47 15,000 rounds). My question is, what 1911 will go bang every time out of the box with no exceptions? Thanks for your input.
