I'd like some feedback from members with personal experience with 1911s. Mainly full size guns under or maybe around 1200 bucks. In other words-no Wilson Combat or Ed Brown kind of stuff. I love 1911s but as much as I hate to admit it every once in a while they jam. I still love them but I like to have a screw driver and a pair of pliers to pry out stuck casings. I did find a trick that helps. I have an old ammo can with "US 45 CAL BALL" printed on the side. As long as my 1911s see me take ammo out of that happy. They will fire .410 shells If they come out of that can. Seriously though, I want to buy a new 1911 and I want one that will eat anything you put in it. I've heard some good things about Smith and Wesson E-Series. I bought a Springfield EMP4 9mm a few months ago and it is pure magic, but its not a 45 and its not Govt. size. Any feedback? Buy the way if anyone has a Springfield V-16 45 Super Longslide I'm looking for one.
