If I ever owned a 1911 that worked, i'd have kept it long enough to post a pic of in this thread.

Maybe the 1911 does not like you lol

Here is a pic of my 1911, its a kimber ultra carry II. Don't mind the kimber micro 9mm next to it I for some reason couldn't find a pic of it by itself

All dozen or so of mine work quite well.

Funny, all the problems I see others having when at the range are with glocks or similar plastic pistols. Never 1911's.

Funny you mention that. Most of the time I see people struggling at the range with a pistol I ask then what they are lubricating it with and I get a deer in the headlight look. I look at the gun and it's bone dry or covered in lint. A few drops of CLP though and 99% of the time every gun runs. Then they always seem to say. Well, I won't own any gun that has to be kept greasy. Because it collects dust and jambs or some other lame excuse.

1911 or Glock. Sig or M&P all run. It's the jokers at the range that are giving their guns a bad name. I remember when you use to buy a 1911, shoot 200-500 rounds and then take it to a Smith to have it worked over. Usually that first 200 or so was "problematic". These guys are lucky if they shoot 200 rounds.

Now that you mention SA, I did have to return a SA. Verified it was fixed and functioning properly, then sold it to a SA fan.

But my Sig, Colt, AMT, Guncrafter 1911's all run great.

 

[Jakashh]

They've "fixed" two different 1911s for me. One I sent back a second time just because I knew I was gonna sell it since as soon as it got back since I had bad luck with it. Didn't even test fire it, just sold it with a clean conscience.

The second one I traded for a glock 19 and some cash to a guy who was lying like a mofo to me about a bunch of mods that were done to it that I knew weren't actually on there, so I have no guilt.

I'm not a huge 1911 fan. I do think that everyone should have at least one in the gun cabinet. I had a PT1911 that I ran in single stack for about a year. Ran like a champ. I sold it after that year of ownership.

I recently picked up another 1911 around Christmas time. A RIA 1911A1 "Tactical" been a great gun so far. Haven't done any high volume days with it though.

Knock on wood, but my Kimber full size 1911 runs flawlessly. Keep it clean, lubed, and use quality ammo, no issues at all. I love it.

Hello all. I recently picked up this .45 cal Colt Combat Commander (along with a 22 conversion kit). I wrote Colt to inquire about age and learned it was manufactured in 1977. I have not shot it yet but looking forward to it. Does anyone have opinions on this model?

 

[OIF2]

Nice Commander. Not only fun to shoot, but getting collectible. You won't loose money on that one. Hammer might bite the web of your hand, depending on how you hold the pistol and how thick your paws are. Just remember: you can never have too many Colts.

I have a stainless Colt Commander (along with a Defender) at this point and will have a full size soon. I love the 1911s.

 

[Davetex]

Nice! I like old ones more than new ones.

My father had a 38 Auto Colt years ago but he traded it for something that wasn't near worth what that 38 Auto Colt was worth.

I went inexpensive & bought this R1 Commander last week:

Newest addition to my 1911 collection.

My new Springfield Range Officer Champion in 45. Took it to the range this morning and was very impressed. It became my new EDC.
