A pistol that will handle hardball, semi-wadcutters, and full wadcutters with perfect reliability for ten years and a lot of shooting is not "finicky".

Put a really tired 70 year old spring in the magazine, drop it on its head a few times, put a mismatched recoil spring in the frame, and cut back the powder charge until it won't shove the slaide all the way back and the 1911 will suddenly get "finicky" too.

The 1911 is like a Harley, no matter how many times it stops, it's still the most reliable pistol around.
