Like most folks I have more problems than money, the concept of spending $700 to buy a problem just doesn't jive with me. I kinda expect guns to work right from the box, including being reliable with most hollowpoints, and having acceptable accuracy. When even a manufacturers biggest fans are telling me one of the companies best features is how they treat yu when you send a new gun back to them to get it to work right I get
100% TRUTH!
I have never understood how people can be so patient and forgiving of bad guns. I'm saying all 1911s are bad (or that any are bad), I just don't see the point of buying something that is expensive and still having problems with it. If you pay $500-800 for a new 1911 (or any gun) and it has problems, it doesn't sound like a deal to me.
