I have a Springfield SS 1911's that I got new in '95. I had to replace the sear, hammer, disconnector, and trigger for it to be a good gun. The sear and hammer were the worst of it, but once I got that done it shot great, and has ever since.
None or Very Minor. Worked fine out of the box.
Minor. Required minor "tweaking" or repair I was able to do myself.
Moderate. Required warranty repair or gunsmith work to fix.
Severe. The gun just would not work even after repairs were attempted.
I've never owned a 1911.
