Not that it's any of your business but the gun was a gift from my wife. I had been out of 1911 business along time when she bought me one.
Sell the 1911 to pay for marriage counseling. Cause if she doesn't know by now how much you hate 1911's and 1911 owners; then your marriage has some issues.
And you're right, all the 1911's that you hear about that work...it's all a big conspiracy. We've all made the colossal mistake of buying a 1911 and we're just trying to sucker in the next guy so were not alone with our broken/don't work 1911's.
