We make a lot of excuses for the fact that 1911s are finicky with regards to mags and ammo. Other platforms do not have so much of a problem.

I think that if a 1911 will not be reliable with all standard factory ammo it is the gun's fault, and should be fixed or replaced by the dealer or the factory.

While I have several, and like 1911s they are more trouble to get reliable than the Glocks or Sigs in my safe. Those are usually reliable OTB, and that cannot be said for a very high percentage of commercial 1911s.
