With a spending cap of 1300 dollars what 1911 do you recommend that you find very reliable and and is less prone to jamming or mal-functioning. My wife & I have fired 1911's at our range but we both lack the knowledge of what 1911's will function reliably if & when a lethal situation should arise in a home defense encounter.
For your money, I'd suggest a PAIR of Rock Island Armory Tactical M1911s.
I like the idea of a his and hers set. You will have cash leftover for practice ammo, perhaps a firearms self defense course.
Out of the box, these RIAs can be as reliable as any other brand, regardless of price. As with any other pistol, you have to "prove" RIAs reliable by firing at least 200 hundred rounds of SD ammo through them, before trusting your life and your loved ones' to them.
