Well, in my experience I've had more jamming issues with my SIGs and XD (that I no longer own) than my 5 1911's (2 Kimbers, Springfield, Remington, RIA) which have all run 100% from day one.

Guess I'm lucky?

love of the 1911

If I had a choice of one handgun to own,it would be a "Colt" 1911.Period. I own a few 1911's. Colt Gold cup, colt 1911 pre WW1made in 1912,Kimber ultra Covert, Caspian custom. I LOVE THE 1911. I love the way it shoots,I love the way the slide racks, I love the way it feels.
If I was under attack, being overrun, and had a choice that my life depended on it, I WOULD MOST DEFINETLY GRAB MY GLOCK 22 40 S&W.
end of story.

The weight was my issue, switched to a glock 30s. 30 ounces loaded with 11 rounds.

My experience has been the opposite of this. I bought a SA Loaded and have shot 300 rounds through it with no issues.

R U kidding me, now I love my 1911s. somewhere here in THR someone mentioned upgrading the mags and that's all it took for my babies to shoot well. Not to mention that flushed 7 round mags look and feel a lot better than the big huge over sized 8 round clockers they came with.

Glad the mags cured it Magnun Joe. I haven't had any problem with the factory mags that came with my Ruger. If I were you I might try cleaning the factory mags & see if they worked better then. If you decided you wanted to sell the factory Ruger mags I would be interested.
