Am I missing something?
For what a decent 1911 costs, there should be no need for it to be sent out for work to make it "reliable."
If it gives you a warm fuzzy to send it out for "tuning," great, but it should not be a requirement for it to work correctly.
I think you're right; not to minimize what Cane says. But, I'm going to the range tomorrow with both my Kimbers. They've both been cleaned and lubed. I will try the Kimber mag and all three (for each gun) of the Tripp mags. That's a lot of ammo, but I have enough. Been stocking up.

Until further notice, we are suspending all services / conversions on customer supplied 1911s.

I hate to admit that I don't own a Colt. However I did have a Sistema 1911 which is an Argentinian 1911 that was manufactured under license from Colt on Colt machinery.
I had a Dan Wesson Commander bobtail that I am just sick about selling. I has proven to be my favorite 1911 ever.
My carry pistol is a Kimber Pro Carry II and I like it fine. However, I did have it gone through by a great 1911 gunsmith for a reliability tune.
Hope this helps a bit.
Or you could just buy a reliable 1911 out of the box. But that would rule out Kimber.
