Doc2005,
Once again you and I agree.
Or both of us are right - depends on how you interpret.
1911s of Commander Size and up are Reliable.
Personally, make mine Gov't Model of 1911, or Bone Stock Colts of full size, Steel Combat Commanders or Lightweight Commanders, with USGI/Colt 7 rd mags with dimpled followers.
The Springfield "GI" are running out the box, and the OLD OLD Kimbers before being called Series I , and the Series I.
After that, Caspian frame and slide, Shuemann barrels and build as close as can to GI, and I'm happy.
Now there is one 1911 "different" I will suggest.
Commander Sized 1911 in 9x23 .
Helluva a carry gun!
