I just don't get it. I have 11 1911's and none give me a single problem.....ever.
However, just use Google for a few minutes and you'll find
The 1911, regardless of make, tends to have a higher rate of failure than more modern designs
Both models have strengths, but both have weaknesses.
In the experience of a lot of people, the Colt 1911 does meet the reliability standards of the day, however, I collected my first Colt 1911 (Series 70 reissue) only yesterday and have yet to shoot it so can't speak from personal experience. But I didn't buy it for reliability -- if it does prove reliable that will be a bonus -- I bought it for its beauty and history. When I look at and handle my new purchase, I get a lump in my throat.The Colt 1911 was one of the best designs of its day, but its disheartening that the design in our day has lagged so far behind. To spend close to a grand on a gun and have it not meet the reliability standards of the day is a shame.
High Capacity- See above.
In fact the Series 70 reissue I bought this week was purchased from Buds (thought it was a great price). I see Buds is now out of stock on them for the time being. Glad I snapped mine up when I did.duns ... i was looking at a pic on bud's and it looks wonderful!
It's the best combat platform ever developed.............
Even so.Really? Even though the 1911 gives up 5-6 rounds to the polymer guns?
