I had a couple other brands that ranged from mild tweaking to sell that pos before it blows up. The best one was an old worn out kimber I bought, It looked like ass but it actually worked. 1911's are to heavy and to low capacity, not worth trying to make them work right.
I'd like to know when the last time you fired a Colt was. They are definately not the pistol that they used to be, and every post 2007 Colt that I've owned has been flawless. My Wiley Clapp Govt. model is the finest 1911 that I've owned.
