Just my .02 cents...
When all of this "kaboom" business started back in early 2003, I traded my Glock 30 into a gun shop and bought a Springfield 1911 because the serial numbers fell into that "range" of Glocks with potential "kabooms." Got talked into it by a dedicated "Glock hater," too.
Worst firearm's mistake I've ever made in my life - the Springfield was a POS, and even after 500 rounds continued to jam, stovepipe, fail to feed, etc., etc., at least once every magazine, and that was with HARDBALL FMJ. The G30 I'd traded never failed me even once, no matter what I shot out of it, JHP, Blunt nose, FMJ, gravel, rocks & assorted little pebbles...(okay, making the last three up, but I wouldn't have been suprised if...).
Bottom line is I wish I had that G30 back. Needless to say, I got rid of that Springfield, and now have a Kimber 1911. But even my Kimber couldn't hold a candle in the reliability department to that G30, at least for the first 200 rounds. My Kimber is totally reliable NOW, but it took a "breaking in" period to get it that way - the G30 was "broke in" and TOTALLY reliable from day one.
Just my .02 cents.
