I have owned three (currently one), and many friends have 1911's.
Yes, all of us with at least one of our 1911's found that they did not work 100% reliably right off the bat. And they took a darn long time to break in and start working well with whatever we fed them. But it was worth it.
My least expensive 1911 - an armscor, shot whatever I fed it.
My most expensive, a Kimber, only shot FMJ's reliably until she had a fluff and buff as well as about 1000 rounds downrange.
My friends GI .45 never got reliable with most JHP ammo.
Did he care about that? No... only that it bit his hand with the hammer.
Once you own one you'll know what I'm talking about. It's like owning a vintage muscle car. Little things about it won't be perfect but it'll clean up most cars in a dust up.
