I don't understand how you can compare the 1911 to the Luger when it comes to reliability. The German engineering mind could not accept the idea of the loose tolerances which John Browning designed into the 1911. They were far more concerned with precise machining and fitting of parts. I will admit that when I used truncated bullets such as the Germans used in my reloads there was a marked improvement in my Luger performance.
