No flame intended, I've had two (1991A1's) and both worked fine.
Just seems a lot of post are:
"Which 1911 will be reliable out of the box?"
" Can I find a good reliable 1911 under $1000?"
"What pistolsmith should I send my new $1000 1911 to?"
When somebody buys a Sig, Beretta, Glock, HK etc it seems they are most interested in a new holster or carry ammo but every 1911 purchase is just assumed to be the begining of a long expensive process to actually make it work. Is it a design issue?, too steep a feed ramp? bushing system? Are there some inherent problems with the design?
What gives
