[QUOTE="RickN, post: 1852308, member: 8854"] None of the others I have tried have stood up to the test like the old 1911. I will admit to not having tried it with a Glock 45 but I have with a friends old Glock 9mm. 5 of us tried it one weekend using the same number of new mags (9) and a quick field cleaning every 250 rounds just like I and another group did with the old a1. With old military surplus ammo (again like the 45) we had several failure to feed, jams, and other problems. (misfires were not counted in either case) I must also admit that the 1911 was very well broken in. (the slide rattled when you would shake the gun) As long as you fed it military hard ball ammo and gave it a quick cleaning every now and then, it would fire. Not very accurate and it liked to send hot brass down the front of your shirt but it would fire. [/QUOTE]
