A few FTFs when it got very dirty, but otherwise dependable. A few years after owning it, I sent it to the Springfield Custom shop and Dave Williams installed a Caspian longslide and fitted a match barrel. It was returned to me as a tack driver, so much so that it was more accurate than I was capable of shooting it. It rarely FsTF now and is my house gun. Because it is, to put it mildly, very heavy.

I am not wedded to a single design and am willing to change when it doesn't work for me.

If you buy a Glock, or a Sig, or a Honda, or a Maytag, you know who made it, and the manufacturer will stand behind it, because it has a name to protect. And the current model is different from the original, because the manufacturer has continually made improvements. When you buy a 1911, you're buying a piece of technology that was set in stone before the Titanic sank, that contains twice as many parts as a Glock (every one of which can break), and that requires precise machining that usually isn't available today. To paraphrase a Lucky Gunner post about revolvers, 1911s were designed when technology was expensive and labor was cheap, and today the opposite is true. So you won't get the workmanship that a Taft-era design demands. <br />The only 1911s I ever owned were four Colts and one Detonics, and I never had any problems with any of them other than stovepipes in the Detonics caused by bad six-round magazines. But I didn't shoot them a lot, either. <br />What's the point of living in the third millennium if you won't take advantage of it?
