While I've only owned 5 different 1911s and a few 3'', I've made my CCW a 4" commander.
From what I've read and experienced with my 1911s, some require SET UP and sorting out before they will just run and run. That entails getting good mags, the guns favorite ammo (some 'care' more than others) and a few other tweeks. However, my two current S&W series E's have always run 110%. I don't run mine hard but I've never had one stop for maintenance issues unless I was shooting soft lead.
If the gun industry hasn't learned to make a better gun after 100 friggin' years with all the advancements in manufacturing and materials...Glocks had damn well be better out of the box.
Personally I won't own a striker gun. I'm just spoiled by the 1911 trigger.
