Unfortunately my Comcast site got hacked and is down at the moment so the 1911 chart I am working on is not up.
I agree that the 1911 does take more care to keep running than a newer gun like a HK, Glock, or M&P but I still think it is one of the best platforms for 45ACP.
Just like any firearm, If you are going to use it in a defense role, whether it is for carrying on duty or as a concealed permit holder, you really need to get some training using the gun.
If or when you do buy a 1911, get some good magazines like Chip McCormick Power Mags or Tripp magazines. Both have a good reputation and will last longer than most of stuff that is provided with the guns from the factory.
