"Bill Wilson writes in his book that the .45 really isn't all that ideal for the 1911 reliability using the 230 grain RN bullet."
Wow! So after some 106 years of the legendary reliability of the M1911 with the service cartridge, now we find out that it is not really reliable and should be 9mm! I have to wonder what Wilson has been drinking lately. Maybe his .45 pistols are not reliable, but the straight GI and Colt pistols I own sure are.
