    I've owned a great many 1911s beginning with a Charles Daly (POS) and ending with a Yost-Bonitz custom. For a while I owned a large number of mostly WWII and a few WWI examples, all of which were sold off to fund other things.

    I abandoned the platform a number of years ago after witnessing most 1911 guys having some type of regular stoppages and experiencing many of them myself while competing in USPSA. I still very much like them although I feel they do require dedicated and regular maintenance to run right.

    Wilson Combat ULCC .45
    1200 rounds, 1 FTF (my 10yo son was shooting it, I'm guessing weak wrist) not a single problem with me in 1199 rounds using lots of different ammo. I suppose you get what you pay for.
