ive got a para p13 that ive put at least 15,000 rounds through, without any malfunctions once i changed the mag springs, and tuned the thing. (using the factory parts, by the way, except for full length guide rod and trigger) ive got a commander gcnm with 3,000 rounds through it, bone stock. i also have an officers enhanced, no problems there either. i like colts and have never had a problem with them. the guys out there rippin on the 1911's sound just like the guys who rip on ak owners. you cant really go wrong with an ak or a 1911. theyve both proven themselves around the world pretty well. i like polymer guns too. i think stippling? kicks ass on checkering all day but i have yet to see mass produced 1911 with that treatment. in shtf scenario, youre 100x more likely to find parts for a 1911 than the hk. i just cant believe people get so riled up about this stuff when 3 months ago our nation was attacked. does it really bother you guys that much?
