1911Tuner

Ah! Thought it was Georgia Arms.
I believe it probably could have run fine as dirty as it was, but my guess is it just needed some lube. Pull the slide back to lock. Put a drop or two of lube about a half inch from the end of the barrel, turn the pistol over and put a drop or two on the expose section of the slide rails. Close the action and put a drop or two on the barrel hood. Rack the slide several times. You are ready to shoot.Please tell me the slide issue is due to lack of cleaning
The slide release is much farther away from my thumb than I am accustomed and the safety lever is boisterous and cumbersome.
The controls are basically the same from every manufacturer. You probably need to move on. You've grown up in the polymer age and that's what feels "right" to you.please tell me that the "controls" don't feel the same way for every manufacturer

1911s are usually very reliable guns.
The above poster not withstanding.
... And you want to know if all Mustangs are pieces of crap that don't run well. Is that about it?
All mustangs are pieces of crap that don't run well. That is all.
I've never fired a 1911 that had any troubles other than the usual pickiness with non-ball ammo.
I've learned to stay away from non-ball. All I use is cast SWCs and JHPs.
.....I'm hoping this is sarcasm considering both SWCs and JHPs are non-ball rounds.....
