It's going to be my next purchase I think. I like the weight and that .380 won't be a hand slapper. I also like the 1911 platform. I too am looking for someone who has one to inquire about if it's prone to jamming. By the numbers it seems to be the ultimate pocket pistol. Trying to decide between it and the Kimber Micro whom I assume Colt is trying to knock off.

I carry the 1911 officers model in winter.
Tucks away real nice.

Last week, I found a YT video about Kimber 3” & 4” 1911s, and the Kimber guy was saying that both the recoil spring needs to be replaced from 17lbs to 22lbs, to eliminate FTFs and jamming. He also recommended to replace the guide rod to 100% fix the problem. Also choosing specific ammo to run in the gun.

Might be in these vids:
