[QUOTE="Soulman, post: 720583, member: 554"] My two personal choices for 1911s have been S&W and Colt. I've always had luck with 5" gov't models that were as close to the original 1911 design as possible. In my own personal experience, it seems like the compact/micro versions seem to have problems, or at least more prone to them. However, I have had a couple springfield or rock island armory GI or Mil-Spec full size models that have shot just fine. A lot of problems my friends have had with their full size models have been fixed by replacing the recoil spring and using chip mccormick power mags. I've been kicking around the idea of a commander size (full size grip, but slightly shorter barrel) 1911 since it seems they can be had in reliable configurations. Most 1911 problems can be traced back to one of these problems as long as you stay with Colt, S&W, RIA, Springfield, Norinco, etc (personally would stay away from taurus from personal experiences but others have had luck with them): Cheap/Poor Quality Parts Cheap/Poor Quality Mags Poor Quality Gunsmithing [/QUOTE]
