Perhaps your experience differs, but I have a 3" Springfield .45 that has functioned flawlessly for over 2000k rounds.

I'm sure some short 1911's do have reliability problems, just like some full size versions do. Just be careful using that broad brush.

That cant be right, 1 million and 2 Million rounds?

Ooops. Sorry. That was supposed to be 2K and 1K, or 2000 and 1000 respectively. Where's the facepalm smiley?
