As with any CCW, it needs to be thoroughly put through its paces before you carry it regularly. I rotate through several pistols, all 1911 types, for CCW. One of them is a Charles Daly, which was made by RIA. I honestly have lost count of how many thousands of rounds have gone through it, about half the rifling is shot out and it's still baseball bat reliable. On the other hand, I owned an identical pistol about 15-20 years ago that absolutely would not feed any brand of JHP known to man. That's why I USED to own it.
