That being said, I would probably not carry it. Not because I don't have confidence it will run 100%, I have every confidence it will. The problem is if you have to shoot someone, your $1000, $1500, $2000 1911 will be in the pokey for how long till the issue is resolved?
Carry a plastic gun you can replace less expensively than a 1911.
Meh. If I have to use a carry weapon to defend myself, having it sit in an evidence locker is seriously small change as far as other cost/inconvenience/bullshit stuff I'd have to deal with - planning around that only makes sense as far as needing a second handgun so that you can still have one around so the first one can be elsewhere (also for repairs/modifications/anything else that comes up). The most expensive part of what I carry around is myself and my family, the most expensive things to put back together are people - even a presentation grade Wilson is comparatively cheap, so just use the tool that makes the most sense and worry about the low probability bridges if/when they come up.
