[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2395900, member: 24446"] While it's true in the early days of compact 1911's reliability was a huge issue but we are long past that point and people still repeat that stuff as if it's fact today just like a dozen other gun "facts" we've all heard and rolled our eyes to . There are many quality compact 1911's that run as well as a full size. In my case, it's my STI Elektra which runs like a champ. I've been shooting this gun for two years now and haven't had a single malfunction. It's extremely light, crazy accurate and perfectly reliable. The instructor who asks people not to bring compact 1911's is Rob Pincus iirc and he obviously has personal issues with these guns because despite his rants to the contrary there a legions of compact shooters who are doing just fine with them. That said if you think you're going to get that kind of performance from a Brazilian or Guatemalan made $400 compact 1911 you will very likely end up with a sad face. [/QUOTE]
