Preface:

As a long-time Glock user and quasi-gun enthusiast, I was longing to get a 1911 and finally did. On a budget, I bought the Taurus PT1911 stainless steel. I really enjoyed it. It ran flawlessly.

I couldn't help but think the Taurus wasn't a quality "battle" gun therefore I eventually splurged and bought a Para Black Ops (double stack) 1911 thinking this would be/operate better than the Taurus.

Boy was I wrong. Every 4 or 5 rounds it would fail to feed or eject. After finally getting in touch with their support, I was told of a $250 - 500 round break in period is. "normal" for 1911's! What?

Like I said earlier, I'm only used to platforms that simply run and run and gobble up any ammo I get my hands on. And my PT1911 from Taurus seemed to be no exception.

What's your experience with the 1911? I'm sure it's a stiff ejector, but for $1000, shouldn't it.... I don't know... work right out of the box?

Thanks,
