Hi I'am a new user on the firing line forums.Though i have been reading things here for a long time.Anyway my question is this.I have a Colt 1911 pistol made around 1918 or 1919.It is in about 70% condition and seems to function fine if i use newer mags with it.The original mags are pretty much useless.When i use 230gr. FMJ or 230 LRN i get 100% reliable feeding from it.Now my problem is i don't have any money right now for a newer gun,as i like 1911 types and they are quite expensive.Another problem is all the talk of hollow points.I realize that they reduce overpenitration and increase stopping power etc...However i have recovered LRN slugs from dirt and they deform and get pretty large.As if .45 cal. wasn't big enough right?I have tried all major hollow points,none feed as reliable as the other ammo i metioned.I may have to stake my life on this gun and don't really know what to do here.A new gun just is not in my budget right now.Any help would be of great help.Also the 1911 is a reliable design as a whole is it not?What are really the odds of mechanical falure at the worst time?I also carry a sig 230 for backup.Just in case.
