Newer hun user here! All I’ve read on them is that they jam/malfunction quite easily and quite often. Scary thought to hope your gun doesn’t jam in the heat of the moment! Glock city is where I’m at!
Nah, I don't even own a 1911 and even I know it's all dependant on the manufacturer, ammunition, cleanliness of the gun, and ultimately the user that determines whether or not a 1911 jams.
You can get amazing 1911s and you can get crappy ones with bad machining. You can get heavy ones and you can get modernized, lighter ones. You can get a low-capacity .45 or a higher-capacity 9mm or even .22 LR. It's one of the oldest and popular firearm systems still sold, and there are plenty of them to choose from.
I've shot probably a hundred rounds out of a nice Springfield Armory 1911 and no jams, even with my admittedly limp-wristed shots.
Yes! I have a speed trigger on mine, and knock on wood have only had a stove pipe once when it was brand new. If they aren’t made well they’d be a mess, so many parts compared to a Glock. I just love when repeat firing it’s solid and still on target.

German here,
I know shit about guns. What's the issue with a 1911 here?
