OP moans:
I own ... let's just say, considerably more than 20 1911s of every stripe (including Colt's, Kimbers and Springfield Armory pistols), more than half of 'em purchased new within the past 10 years. Been collecting 1911s since the '70s, shootin' 1911s since the '60s. NONE of my 1911s jam.
If you believe everything you read on the internet, can't be bothered to learn how the platform operates, how to maintain the platform, and what type of magazines, parts, accessories and ammunition to use, by all means, stay the hell away from 1911s and quit making statements such as the one I quoted.
Oh, and to stay on topic: yes, I like my .45 ACP pistols, every one of 'em -- and with the exception of a lone SIG P-220 (a worthy pistol in its own right) and the wife's Taurus PT-145s, ALL of my .45s are 1911s.
<Heavy sigh>I wish they made a 1911 that didn't jam.
