So my brother has a springfield loaded that has given him problems since day one. Most of the problems have stemmed from his reloads. Now, you can say, "stop right there. there is the problem. Make better reloads or shoot factory"
BUT, making better loads takes time, and we have tried his loads in a variety of other 1911's and in non-1911 45's and they work pretty well. So he's decided the springfield is just picky. Tight tolerances and the like. So he's probably going to trade it away.
Any recommendations on a good 1911 for under a grand that might be a little more forgiving of mediocre ammo? ** MUST BE STAINLESS **
I had a taurus 1911 one time that ate everything I threw at it. I hear very good things about metroarms' guns (though I think they are not stainless). Then there are the usual suspects, the ruger 1911, a colt gold cup (used). Any opinions about the smith E-series 1911? Or the sig 1911's? Other suggestions?
