[QUOTE="Soulman, post: 1267298, member: 554"] 1911s I've owned: 4 springfield (9mm, 2 gov't, and 1 champion) 1 smith & wesson (gov't) 2 rock island (both gov't) 1 colt (gov't) I've replaced the springs in some and have always used 8rd power mags, so I've never had a single malfunction in one of them. In that old colt (made in the 20s) I even shot semi-wadcutters in it trying to make it jam and it never did. 2 of the springfrields came with buffers and I removed them. I try to keep the gun to as original JMB design as possible. Maybe that's the key to having great pistols that always run. Even the cheapo RIA 1911s ran just fine so it's not like you've got to pay over $1k to get one that's reliable. [/QUOTE]
