I have bought and traded 9 semi-auto's in the last 6 years and now have only 4 left, the newest addition is a S&W 1911, SS, 5" barrel (same as attachment). I got rid of the other 5 mainly because of occasional FTF issues or just didn't like the gun.
This is my 1st 1911 and I only have 400 rounds through it with no issues. I tradded a Sig. p220 (Internal Extractor) and cash for it because the Sig would have at least 1 FTF every time I shot it since new, nothing major, just an annoyance.
I have read many peoples post stating their dislike for 1911's mainly because of reliability issues, so, my question is:
Just how reliable is the modern 1911 (2005+)? and are newer models more or less reliable than the older models?.
How reliable is the 1911 platform compared to Sig P220, Glock, HK, M&P etc.?
I do realize some mfg's are more reliable than others.
