Have those guys never heard of clip loaders? Their thumbs must have been really hurting.
A lula would've gone a long way.
I regress. When you buy a Lula, its called a clip loader by the manufacturer.
We all know the real story.

I have shot many 1911s but most of them have been high quality. I am just curious which 1911 people try to avoid.
The video that GMThunder shared was a good one, it actually sounded like it was cooking off a few times.
At one time the only pistol I would carry was a Colt 1911, I kept it clean and oiled, it shot every time, I must have shot 2000 rounds through it, never a problem.
Then I was exposed to Kimber, the one I carry regularly is a Ultra CDP II, I have shot over 1000 rounds through it never a problem.
Its too bad that others have had such bad luck with Kimber and other 1911's. I would say sent it to the factory to be fixed, or to Dr. Berry Grayson.
Far from my first choice but it's really not that surprising that one can do it......one just has to look outside of internet lore.
Noted.... in the fantasy world of competition where guns have significant modifications for speed that cause the platform to sit on the edge of reliability... those 1911s might not be as reliable. In the same sense... neither are Glocks by my experience in competition. Seeing the forest for the trees though, I realize it doesn't compromise the inherent reliability of the platform.
One does wonder why those two particular platforms are so prevalent in competition given all the anecdotes here.
