New, out of the box is what the O.P. was concerned with.Any modern .45 is reliable, every semi-auto needs spring changes.
Why are Tanfoglio Witnesses junk? My experience is with full size steel models in 9mm, 40, 45 and 10mm. Nothing but excellent performance in my experiences. Please share why you feel they are junk. Best wishes!Tanfoglio Witnesses are junk.
Some 1911s run better than others "out of the box," but that still makes the species a hit-or-miss proposition generally as to any particular gun.
If you do choose a 1911, make sure you have a pool of cash set aside, ready to throw at your pistolsmith of choice to fix any outta-da-box issues. Typically you'll encounter these in the first 50-100 rds fired.
