My first 1911 was a new AMT Hardballer. After a little break in, it worked fine but I was shooting ball ammo out of it. Can't speak to how it would do with SWC rounds. Anyway I wanted to "move up" and bought a Colt 80s series Gold Cup. It was more problematic than the Hardballer and no more accurate. Can't really complain much about my experience.
