[QUOTE="Hawgman, post: 722558, member: 7676"] I've had 2 colts and 2 kimbers. None of them fed hollow points reliably. Even 1 jam per 100 is too much to me if it's to be used for self defence. All but one (kimber pro carry) functioned extremely well otherwise. The most recent was the kimber pro carry I bought last year. It was BAD. 2 to 3 jams per magazine with ball. Boiled down to needing the chamber polished and the inside surface of the slide lock filed down. Got it down to 1 or 2 jams per 7 to 8 magazine loads. I still have the eclipse. It's flat out reliable with everything but hollow points. It's just a range gun and a dang accurate and easy to shoot one too. One thing I'm about sick of is almost all 1911 employ the full length guide rod. I'm getting a serious itch for a stainless, 5" with the standard guide rod and spring plug. [/QUOTE]
