Actually I don't think it did. I had two stovepipes but I think it was due to the Blazer ammo I was using. I noticed a few rounds that seemed to have the bullet seated too deeply and discarded them. I must have missed some. Otherwise IT ran well. I ran less well.
A few years ago I thought it had REALLY malfunctioned when the slide fell off into the dirt on an IDPA stage. The guide rod/recoil spring assemble broke. I had no clue at the time what had gone wrong...very unsettling. As it turned out it was, again, operator error. I had failed to read the instructions carefully enough and I had been seating the guide rod on the incorrect place on the bottom of the barrel upon reassembly. Hasn't had a problem like that since.
It really has been an unusually reliable tool in the six or so years I have been shooting/carrying it. It is my daily carry and my IDPA competition pistol. Great little .45.

Re: TexasCHLforum members done good again
Well in the less than spectacular vein, I finished dead last in SSP/SS.
This is my first sanctioned match in SS after having the misfortune of having an uncharacteristically good run on the classifier earlier this year which moved me up the SS. If I had stayed in MM my score would have been in the middle of the pack. My little Glock 30 is not a competition pistol but I must confess that most of the malfunctions were operator error.
All that said, it was a lot of fun and I am glad that I went. It was very well run and the host club, CCIDPA, were very gracious and welcoming. Nice folks all.
I heard there were 193 shooters and about 45,000 rounds fired. Only one DQ and that was for putting a round over the berm. That seems to me to be a great testament to good organization. I hope to go next year and maybe get a little practice time in before the match this time. No place to go but up.
