My issue is that using ball ammo, a 1911A1 is more reliable to me than a Luger. Now, if I had a luger that was extremely reliable would I use it in a SHTF scenario?

sure

About an hour ago, I had a "WTH" moment, loaded two modern mags with JHPs, and opened it up. Not one issue! Feeds JHPs just like FMJs (cleaning it now). Aside from the capacity limitation (if one needs more than 8,...one is in BIG trouble), I can't see any disadvantages.
Don't get me wrong,...I LOVE Glocks, but I still need to find a flaw in this antique.
