That's why I ended up selling my Kimber 1911 and buying a glock 23 - I love the 1911 and think it's probably the best pistol ever invented in terms of shooting enjoyment. But even a high-quality pistol like the Kimber jams up at matches unless you baby it, and I just don't have time to learn gunsmithing. No one understands why I did the trade until I analogize it to the difference between Harley's and Yamahas.
