This is why DA revolvers are still being made today. No mag springs or extractors or feed ramps to worry about. No repeatedly rechambering the same round by slamming it into a ramp. I love 1911s and made pretty good money working on them and competing with them. But I have seen exactly how many things can go wrong on a semi auto and make it choke. I saw it happen at big money matches to factory shooters with custom guns who get paid big bucks. I cannot place 100% trust in one. I only carry revolvers. Simple is good.
