Most of the posts by people who have reliable 1911s have consisted of owners lamenting the good old days of the flawless 1911, and how they aren't built that way now but "I gota 1911 that's worked flawless for years" an iffya get a good smith and dozen books you'll be ok. Talk about Stockholm syndrome with a pistol ffsake lmao. Congrats

I mean it couldn't be that other people honestly have a very different experience...and have so for decades.

So is any contrary opinion a consciousness of guilt? Do you see what a ridiculous statement that was.

I guess the only valid opinions are those who say the 1911 is crap.
