And that Wilson will be combat reliable AFTER you put 500 rounds through it. Not before.
I don't care what ya'll WANT to think. It doesn't change the facts on the ground. Pick up a brand new LesBaer, Wilson, even a Dan Wesson and rack it. Then pick one up with 5000 rounds through it. Guess which one is smoother and has less FRICTION. It's pretty obvious. Do you really want to carry a 1911 that hasn't proven it's worth by reliably shooting 500 rounds or more. Heck, Les Baers just about seize up on the LGS shelf when they're new.
1911's don't come with a perfectly polished smooth barrel and sliding parts. They do smooth out, As do many brands of pistols. My DW Valor cycles glass smooth now. It wasn't that good when new.
I won't even carry a Glock with less than 1000 rounds of use.
