But just for say a experiment put 2k rounds down the barrel without cleaning it. Then get back to me with all the failures and at what interval (round count) each happened. I have done it with a Glock 19 gen 3 and had my only Fail to Fire at 1996 rounds. I used 6 types of ammo including reloads, the last 200 were steel case Tula. That's the day Glock's won me over. The one that FTF was a bad primer, good indent from pin, rechambered and tried it 3 times did not fire. It was one dirty sucker when I was done. Trigger started getting heavier at about 1250 rounds.  Done over a extended period, would shoot 2 to 3 hundred at a time. This started out as a way to give a friend more crap about his Glocks. Was gonna put 1k down the barrel and record failures, hit 1k with no failures went for 2k. I could not deny the results, they proved me wrong.     If that 1911 is like mine you will start having issues between 3 and 5 hundred unless you clean it.</blockquote>
