1911's can be finicky and can take some fine tuning to get them running flawlessly. My brothers 1911 carry gun couldn't go 4 rounds without a malfunction. Not exactly good odds if your life depends on it. He carries a glock 19 now.

I love 1911's but let's not pretend that they don't have loose tolerances that can cause a slew of issues
