I find it interesting how many post that 1911s are perfectly reliable on threads about unreliable 1911s.
The bottom line to me is that if you buy a 1911 the chances it will be reliable, accurate, and consistent aren't nearly as high as if you buy a Glock, S&W, Beretta, Sig. I'm done spending my money on 1911s in the hopes it will perform as well as one of the above.
I'm done spending my money on Glocks in the hopes they will not explode in my hand.
Really, if bending an extractor is so hard for a person, then that person is not worthy to have a 1911.
