I love it. When I first took it to the range I had a couple of fail to load issues, so I changed the recoil spring to 18.5# and haven't had any issues since. That's about 900rds with no problems. It will fire anything you through at it with no problems. As you can see I have had a few mods done to it. The only one I would think is nessisary is changing the sights. It comes with the standard blade sights and I found them very hard to see. So I changed them to Kings Hardball 3-dot sights. Even tough RIA's are a are cheap they are reliable. If you do have problems, you can just email Ivan on http://forums.1911forum.com/ . Ivan ( aka blackdragon ) is the importer (I believe) and fixes all the problems that people have posted about there.

Both of mine are tack drivers, never a failure of any kind right out of the box.
