    I'm not sure if an aluminum-frame, Officer's-sized pistol would be the best choice for your very first gun. If you insist on a 1911, you'll have LOTS more fun learning to shoot with a full-sized, steel-frame model.

    This is probably the biggest urban legend about 1911's. They're some of he most reliable pistols on the market. Stories of unreliable 1911's can almost always be explained by one or both of the following variables:
    1. amateur "gunsmiths" who try to "tune" their pistols with a Dremel in one hand and a Brownell's catalog in the other
    2. limp-wristing

    If you use a proper hold and avoid the temptation to "mod" the gun, a 1911 will be dead reliable. Even a compact model: I've got a cheap Springfield Compact that feeds everything from 185gr LSWC target loads to 230gr JHP defensive loads without a hiccup. If you know 1911's, you know that these are the loads that are notorious for failures to feed (especially the 185gr LSWC, which barely has enough power to cycle the slide).

      /\ It jamed on me a few times but I think the problem was the magazine and not the gun.

          My wilson mag is quite nice. I was shooting reload ammo too.

            You're right. I forgot to mention:

            3. Use high quality magazines

            I agree that Wilson makes probably the best mags on the market (I'ev never tried Tripp). But I've never had problems with Colt mags: they're usually very easy to find and quite affordable.

              My Colt magazine worked fine other than the slide would not stay open when the magazine was empty. Not sure what the deal is. Probably worn out.

                              Could the people from the No-Rights State stay out of this thread. I don't want you guys getting scared. IF you do choose to be in here we'll need a signed permission slip from your local sheriff.

                              Moving along, I bought more stuff......

                              - Knights Armament Company (KAC) forward grip
                              - Larue BUIS (Did I say that already...cause I already have it as well as the KAC grip)
                              - KAC hand guard covers
                              - 10-8 grips for my 1911
                              - more Ranger plates
                              - lots-O-bullets
