Well stdalire, the Colt 1991A1 is their latest variant of the Colt M-1911.
Except for the Series 80 firing pin plunger, the gun hasn't changed much over the past 88 years.
The most "common" fault with a mass produced 1911 is NOT feeding HOLLOWPOINT ammo .
This is usually remedied by polishing the feed ramp of the barrel & sometimes adjusting the feedlips of the magazine.
Getting a nice "crisp" 4lb trigger pull is helpful as are aftermarket sights that allow you to obtain a good clear sight picture.
The arched mainspring housing can be changed for either a flat or wedged shaped one to help position your hand better.
The grip safety "tang" can also be changed to an upswept variant to give your hand a higher grip & lessing muzzle flip.
The Wilson "drop in" beavertail is good for a do it yourself person as it DOES drop in !
Hopefully yours works
but if it doesn't give George Stringer a yell on the 'Smithy board !
