You’re doing it wrong.
I have 3 1911 pistols. Two from Kimber and one original Colt manufactured in 1968. I rarely have a malfunction and when it does happen it’s because of cheap crappy ammo.
Handloads, hollow points, FMJ, they all work just fine.
A 200 grain Gold Dot bullet doing 900 fps opens up to almost an inch in diameter in ballistic gel.
I like modern 9mm ammo and have 2 pistols chambered for it. But when Mrs L and I leave the house it’s .45 ACP on our hips.

But have fun finding 200 grain speer gold dot without ordering it. It’s not at academy and I haven’t seen it at my local bass pro.
And I’m seeing a lot of people on here touting Kimber, a company KNOWN for having zero quality control until only very recently.They just follow the blueprint and ship it. Neither myself nor my colleagues have seen any kimbers make it through a class without the student being given a loaner at some point that I’m aware of.
And another point, why do people feed their guns expensive ammunition for training/plinking? If it can’t handle steel cased rounds, it doesn’t deserve brass.
