Man, you got all THAT right...

Just because it's a 1911-style handgun does NOT mean that the individual manufacturer took the time and effort to ensure they're "right" when they leave the factory..

Most do not, especially some of the earlier models.. I think today they're overall quite a bit better - what with the newer metal technology and high-end CNC machines for the manufacture.

Ammo's better too. But those above who recommend finding the ammo that particular handgun likes are SPOT ON... And 1911s are mostly picky in that regard..
