OP, perhaps your Glock style 1911 should have a polymer frame and other plastic parts like a Glock.
I know, I know, blasphemy! lol

Or you can get S&W/Sig 1911s with external extractors and not worry about tuning the extractor.
Most 1911s have "internal" extractor that operates like a flat spring which can be adjusted by bending and this is some of the "tuning" other members have posted. Once the case rim of round in the magazine clears the magazine lips, magazine spring tension will push the case rim up along the breech wall face and inside the extractor. Some will even round/radius the bottom of the extractor to allow the case rim to slide up easier if there still is a problem.Would you be so kind and explain....I know nothing about extractors of 1911.Or you can get S&W/Sig 1911s with external extractors and not worry about tuning the extractor.
Any version of 1911 with less maintenance has my full attention.

And, from first hand experience, I will say that this is why issue 1911A1's were not known for their accuracy. I tuned the ones in my Arms Room for the post pistol matches, but they lost that interchangeability. The 1911 (not A1) in my Arms Room, a Colt-made one serial # checked out for 1917 manufacture, was by far the most accurate we had.Perhaps I'm misremembering, but it seems like I've heard descriptions of military armorers dismantling a bunch of 1911's, cleaning the parts all at once, and then reassembling them without regard to which parts came from which pistols.
Standardized parts like that are a normal requirement for modern military pistols.
I have a Springfield milspec that is so far 100 percent reliable.
Would it eventually get out of tune and need tuning? Are there sign that this is starting to happen?
I thought about getting a Ruger commander size for carry. Do those need tuning?
No.Anyone wish they made a 1911 with drop in parts.. (like a Glock)..that does not need tuning.. with Glock-like reliability... ..that can take neglect like a Glock..(not that you should neglect maintaining any gun)
...all the while retaining traits that make a 1911 a favorite of many.
Skylerbone, Those are gorgeous grips. Where did they come from?
Chauchat.IMHO it wouldn't have been adopted by a a major military power if it were finicky.
Skyler... Those are gorgeous 1911s. My heart actually skipped a beat when I saw those grips.

LOL. Fair enoughDidn't need "tuning," hammer reliable, and the 18.5" Wolff recoil spring "dropped in" just fine.
GLOCK - wishes they had a pistol with a trigger this sweet.
GR
What you want...
It seems that picture always seems to fool someone. There is somehow people on this planet that think Glock would make a 1911. But they never will. Glock makes 1 trigger and it is called squish.

It's the real sights that instantly tells a person that Ed Brown's been photoshopped..
