Have you tried not doing that?My issue is hitting the take down lever button on the right side, causing it to jam.

No doubt 1911's are beautiful, but often, not always, but more often than not, don't go bang when they should...unless tweaked by a very skilled GS and then they still often remain persnickety......
Glocks, not beautiful, but more often dependable than any 1911.
Believe it or don't.
Uppa to u.
Have never owned a Sig.
Only shot one.

Couldn't have better weather for a morning at the range. Cool, sunny, not as much wind as usual. Fantastic.
Sweet shooting, hard hitting Ruger SR762 was enjoyable as always.
Put plenty of .45ACP down range with the 1911's. Smooth as silk.
Watched a guy with a glock spend a half hour trying to figure out why it kept jamming before he finally gave up in disgust and left.
May have to hit the range again tomorrow afternoon.
Just saying Vickers disagrees with you.
My RIA runs fine. My SA needed tweaking but that was 2 decades ago. A GS works on 1911s to get the most out of them. Hell Wilson made a career out of it.
I got no issue with 1911s
and carried 2 SA 45s for awhile. My phone issue is the 1911 die hards trying the argue how they are better than a Glock.
They just are not when you consider several priorities.
Carry your heavy low capacity often needs tweaking 45 if you want. I don't care.
Zod,
"But you go on telling yourself that if it makes you feel better."
Feeling a bit defensive?
Here's the 411: 1911's are beautiful, old undependable hunks of gun.
Not each and every one, just most.......
You could give me one, but I'd never, ever buy one except for a decorative piece of nostalgia.
I could argue all your points but why? Carry your 1911 (oh that is right you do not). Shoot your 1911 at the range, more power to you. I just gave you my viewpoint and perspective from real world experience. Not my problem if you do not like it.So? Jeff Cooper doesn't.
So after declaring that "more often than not" 1911's have to have a skilled gunsmith tweak them for them to work right, you recount how one you have didn't, and one did. And then you present a mythical gunsmith as your proof, along with a guy whose living was making highly customized 1911s.
Then what's with the "more often than not" claim?
I never claimed they were, I'm just taking exception to your sweeping generalities that by your own admission haven't been a "more often than not" issue with you.
"From a certain point of view", eh?
1) Never said I carried mine. But it has had a better than 99.9% reliability with no tweaking, and no failures that were more than a momentary distraction. Two failures, neither from mechanical issues with the pistol itself.
2) Don't need your permission.
3) Mine has needed zero tweaking. Again with the unfounded assertions.
4) Condescension gets you nowhere.
My p22 only liked Remington golden bullets for whatever reason. The plating also did quite a lot for not fouling up the barrel with lead.Can't believe I read that entire thread, only myself to blame.
Y'all sure seem to have a lot of trouble with guns, been lucky I guess.
Did have (still have) a P22 that wouldn't cycle with low velocity ammo. Sorry, just trying to fit in...
