Guess I've been lucky, I've owned a basic Springfield Arms 1911 I bought new around 1990 that I can't recall ever jamming, failing to fire or failing to extract. I've put more than a couple of thousand rounds through it, mostly gun show reloads when I didn't know any better and 230 gr factory ball. It's also handled several boxes of Federal Hydrashock jacketed HPs with no problems. It gets cleaned and lubed about every 200 rounds.
