That's an odd photo for having a 10 round magazine in it (I've yet to ever come across a 10 rounder that worked more than once.
You need better magazines. I put thousands of rounds through Wilson Combat 10 rounders in IPSC/USPSA competition and they worked just fine.
To the OP, I recently traded into one of the new Charles Daly 1911s made in Italy. I intended to pass it on, but kept it. Very nice basic 1911. Excellent finish, smooth trigger pull at about 6 pounds, slide to frame fit very good. I also once owned a Rock Island base model 1911, purchased about 15 years ago. It was a good pistol that my son now has and likes very much. Can't speak to the recent ones except they seem to get good reviews.
