It seems that the latest issue of the Colt Defenders are very well put together and run with much fewer issues. Some of the big name trainers (Hackathorn IIRC) has said on more than one occasion the Colt is GTG.
But with any 1911 YMMV.
I'd start off with looking at as many of them as you can, or as many as your local FFL's will tolerate you fondling. Check them for fit and function. Look for such things as extractor clocking when you dry fire it. These easy to spot issues will tell you a lot about the possibility of problems out of the box.
Once you find one you like, start with a steady diet of nothing but factory 230gr ball ammo and the standard Colt OEM mags. See what type of performance you get before changing up to say Wilson Combat etc... officers mags
Then stick with 230gr HP's for your carry ammo.
