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).
