For reliability they are more so than Wilson or Bear. May not have the looks but they were built with military and paramilitary use in mind. As Badkarma said, they don't recommend a tear down till 25k rounds. When does any 1911 say that? There are no parts to fit, no "cheap" aftermarket parts.

It's well thought out and we'll built. One of their torture tests was to plug the barrel with a round, shoot that round out and still be in good shape and retain battle accuracy and functionality. They are not A tool, they are THE tool.
