I honestly dont think its possible to get a Modern 1911 that won't work with JHP ammo, cripes man, even the Colt WW models and the Springfield WWII models will function with JHP's with hardly a stutter....


Did you witness this firsthand? What kind of gun was it in and more importantly, in what state of repair? What kind of ammo? etc....


IMO you are overstating the case....

Mine worked with JHP's before it was even fully broken in... without a single malfunction...
