Those words have been uttered about every gun ever made, by one man or another. I've seen glocks and M&P's fail, even a couple of sig's and XD's. If you "have had a lot of reliability issues" with multiple 1911's, you are certainly among the minority.
:iagree: Although I have had a few issues over the years, it was more with specific ammo than gun. I have a couple now that won’t feed 1 brand ammo but will feed others.
When I first got into 1911’s I had a few issues but as I found out most were caused by limp wristing

That is God's honest truth! :lol:
It was at my house for a while too, although we’ve managed to trim that back a little bit. I’m down to 2, my son to 2, and my DIL still has 1. That’s 5 under roof, but in 2 different safes. The struggle is real, but there is hope, and here’s a workable strategy: if you spend all your money on Glocks, ARs, and lever actions (another addiction), you won’t have enough left to fuel a 1911 addiction.
This post actually made me take a look at my collection. I have them ranging from an inexpensive to custom expensive models.
After my count, I decided I must need another one to have an even number. Let’s see, what is it the wife wants :mrgreen:
