I've been shooting 1911s since 1980, my own and those issued by Uncle Sam (USAF match pistols). My own have been from box stock to custom jobs from Clark and Pachmayr. Have shot the new wonder 1911s from Wilson, LB, etc. Have tried the Kimber Warrior and SWAT guns, the SA "Bureau" model too. All great guns.
But hey, they are 1911s, and no matter how much you pay, there may be problems. I have a SA Mil-Spec that has performed perfectly for thousands of rounds w the std 7 round mags from SA and Metalform. I have had problem children that cost 3 times as much and choked w the best magazines du jour.
