It's not hard to maintain. It takes 30 mins out of my life to keep it in top shape.
The 1911's sole purpose is as a combat weapon. It was designed for military use. A well built, well maintained 1911 is as reliable as they come. And is one of the most accurate pistols out there. It also is very safe to carry in Condition 1, due to the design of the safeties.
It carries concealed better than any other, fits the hand like a glove, has a natural point of aim, trigger pull is the same on every shot, so no learning Double action pull-Single action pull
For precision CQB shooting all the SOC units use 1911's, so they are reliable under combat conditions.
Here is a good website about the 1911. It's run by Hilton Yam, he is a premier 1911 builder and a full time Police officer and SWAT member
