Skunky! What are you saying? The horror! Of course 1911s don't suck! [hypnotic voice] Embrace the urge, Skunky....buy a 1911...you must...it is your destiny...[/hypnotic voice]

Tinkering is not required for proper functioning. In fact, many argue that tinkering is often the cause of many of the reliability issues we hear about. My Kimber has been flawless out of the box. I recently changed the grips and MSH, but neither have anything to do with functioning, just personal preference.

I'll destroy the 1911s once I have them.

Good Luck, PaleRyder-my eldest 1911 has well over 130,000 rounds thru the original barrel. In fact, the only thing I did change was the recoil spring, hammer and sear. Me thinks you need to move next to the fountain of youth , you'll need the years!

Well,,,,I'll just have to do my best then by firing 1,000s and 1,000s of rounds through them! I don't think I have enough years left to properly do those awful 1911s in, but I'd sure like to try!

On another note, I prefer my 1911s as they are out of the box. The biggest reason the Colt Commander I bought used was horribly unreliable was because it had been "customized".
I don't have any need at all to customize my 1911s, they're working fine.
