Those words have been uttered about every gun ever made, by one man or another. I've seen glocks and M&P's fail, even a couple of sig's and XD's. If you "have had a lot of reliability issues" with multiple 1911's, you are certainly among the minority.
I have owned 1911s (multiple) that malfunctioned FTF/FTE multiple times (5 or 6 times per 50 round box of ammo) out of the box will ball ammo.

That has never happened for me with a Glock. Ever.

YMMV, but I won't trust my life to a 1911.

Why do I need/want one? Why do you have one or more?

If I do decide to go ahead and get my first one, which would be a nice first 1911?

Okay, open fire..............

1. You don't need one.
2. The only reason I own one is because it was given to me by a now deceased good friend.

I have had a lot of reliability issues with 1911s, plain ones and fancy ones. I will not trust my life to one.
