Contrary what people tend to say ("My gun has been perfect for X rounds"), they really can be difficult to get running properly due to the current implementation of the design by manufacturers.
That is why I have Colts. And no, they have not been difficult to get running properly. In fact I have not had to do one thing to any of the Colts I have owned. Every time I hear this I think that the futher you get away from what JMB designed the more issues you have. My Mil-spec 1911's Colts and the Mil-spec Norinco have not had problems.
Now, when I strayed from that I had problems. My adventure with a Detonics soured me to the 3" 1911 platform. Yes, it takes a lot to keep them working in perfect order. The super tight Wilson I had was accurate, but did give me problems once in a blue moon.
1911's are an afficionado's gun. You need to know what you are doing.
Well lets hope you need to know what you are doing anytime you chose to carry or pick up a loaded gun. Each platform has things you need to consider before you carry them. You are fooling yourself if you think differently.
And oh yeah, pick the one that works best for you, not what you read on a forum.
