I started out with a 70 series Colt and shot it for years, some idiot tinkered with it (me) and things got wonky.
I happily carried my Springfield Loaded since the mid 80’s and it was flawless for several thousand rounds. Then the ejector broke one of the pins off and SA replaced the frame under warranty. I’ve put over three hundred flawless rounds thru it since it came back. It’s ridden IWB since.
I have a Ruger SR1911 in 10mm with hundreds of flawless rounds through it. It goes in the woods.
I’ve had two Colt Commanders in .45acp neither was reliable.
I find a full size 1911 as easy to carry as any other duty size pistol and I shoot them better. In fact after losing 40 pounds I’ve been carrying IWB under a T shirt.
YMMV
