I had a SW1911. I'm a big fan of 1911s and tried the Smith in 2003. Mine was 100% reliable but....

Mine was loose (trigger, barrel & slide lug with excessive loose breech). After it broke, being under warrantee, I sent it back to S&W with a note of what needs repair. (I requested a new slide/ barrel). They informed me it was with-in tollerances and sent the pistol back with around 300 dollars worth of new parts, yet the same old slide with the loose breech now at .008 inch. I traded it while looking brand new.

So my advise is to check out the SW1911 well if you purchase this model.
