As a yardstick to measure those 3 performance by, I just checked my carry/IPSC/IDPA gun.round count over 35,000 rounds of hardball equivalent or higher level ammo. And yes, Colt has built some crap guns (they are not my favorite flavor of 1911) but not at the consistently miserable quality I have personally witnessed with AO. All 3 guns are back at AO for repair and evaluation and will be sold as soon as the return. When I was a Marine armorer I would have called it a decent showing for 50 year old guns.but these were NEW firearms purchased for defense. These guns were purchased for the course (against the instructors recommendations) and the shooters had shot approx 500 to 750 rounds per month for the 2 months prior to the course and had thrown the factory mags away after numerous problems then purchased Wilson and McMormick mags for the course.
