My wife bought me a new PT1911 last November for my birthday. Yes she's a keeper. Anyway, it was an excellent shooter out of the box with the factory mags (8-round) and 230 grain ball per the user manual.
It was a bit finicky with cheap Winchester JHP. Similarly cheap Remington JHP was successfully digested. Also, Chip McCormicks wouldn't feed anything (JHP or FMJ) when topped off with eight rounds. They worked fine with only 7 rounds, defeating the purose of a large mag. I swapped the McCormicks for Novak 8-round mags and it hasn't failed to feed since.
One issue I did have was a part failure. After 600ish rounds the ejector failed. After the weapon took a trip to Florida and back, I have since buried over 1000 rounds successfully in the backstop.
I think I need more range time to be sure.
