[QUOTE="udiablo, post: 2683903, member: 5748"] Had my Officer done by Earl House and Wayne Novak and it runs with no hiccups. It also ran OK right out of the box, but I wanted to use Win BTs (this load is now the Win Ranger) +P+, so had them go through it, and I keep the same wilson mags with it. It has been one of my daily carry weapons for several years (the other's a Wilson CQB). Incidentally, I also have a G19 that is almost like new because it gets no use (and probably never will). IMO, the Glocks are relatively foolproof and reliable, thus tend to be a good choice even for the dumb asses that don't know anything about weapons. The 1911 is a fighting pistol that is a formidable & fearsome weapon in the hands of an experienced 1911 shooter. Unfortunately some of the "clones" are junk. Unless you are getting a pistol from Wilson, Les Baer, or some other high-end maker, be very careful when buying any Colt-wannabe-clone (I am NOT a Kimber fan). Years ago the Essex slides/frames were mostly junk. Some of the Chinese Norinco's exhibited high hardness, or unsuitable softness of some parts. The early Taurus clones had/have some problems. Kimber magazines may or may not work, etc., etc. [/QUOTE]
