Quoted: I don't necessarily think the 10MM is too hot for the 1911, especially with some of the conversions available that are more potent. That being said, I have also hear of similar problems. I look at it this way: Guns are like cars and everyone gets a lemon once in a while no matter what the brand/configuration. If and when I get this pistol I will put a heavier spring in it to try and reduce wear and tear on the frame.

Well, the way I get around the too hot ammo problem is to handload 10mm Auto ammo. I currently load mine about the same as 45ACP level or a little below, which kinda defeats the purpose of a 10mm though, but then if you want to you can load it to heart stopping levels too.
Oh yeah, keep in mind that the Colt 10mm's also has the smaller breach face on the slide, so it is not possible to convert to standard 45ACP.
I use the Kings, Glendale Calif. 10mm springs and SS guide rod with 2 rubber buffers in order to help prevent excessive pounding on the frame because you are shooting a semi-collectible firearm.
For me I don't think the current CEO of Colt LTGEN Wm M. Keys, USMC (retired) is going to be able to pull Colt out of the slump. To me it is a daunting task that took Colt years to get into, and its going to take years to get out.
