Interesting, and confusing, as I was darn certain only those european plastic guns could do thattttt!- I thought 1911s were all jam-o-matics intolerant of the slightest harsh conditions!!!! Too bad the 1911's reliability isn't backed up by non-scientific internet tests, it'll just have to settle for nearly 100 years of combat service ! http://www.advancedtactical.com/sweeneyarticle.pdf
