Everyone's experience is different.
My $450 Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical: 100% reliable right out of the box
My $550 Almighty Glock 22: 2 FTF since I took it out of the box.
Yes, there are 1911's out there that have a few issues. You need new mags, the extractor needs tuned, or you need a different lb recoil spring. But if you fix what's broke, a 1911 will run forever.
For me, you can't find a better handgun that feels like a 1911. The grip angle, grip width, sight radius, trigger, and overall style is the best.
I carry a Glock 17 at work because that is what we're issued. But if I had a choice and I was allowed to carry anything I wanted; it would be a 1911 hands down. :wavey:
