That is one benefit to the 1911...

Parts are plentiful! However, its a rare few 1911's that were 'right' right out of the box. Some 1911's I've had have used well over 1000 rounds of ammo each trying to diagnose and fix problems they shouldn't have and the Kimber I had last with the false slide lock issue I never could fix and I tried every trick in the book including lightly dimpling the Ed Brown slide lock. If I ever buy another, unless its a Les Baer, Brown, Wilson or Larry Vickers gun it won't be used for daily carry and I can buy 2-5 Sigs for what the custom guns cost. Ammo costs too much and is too rare to have a problem gun eat it just to spite you.
