Pincus on Sub-Compact 1911's

[Strider]

For many years I carried a 3 1/2 " Springfield 1911 and put several thousand rounds thru it with no problems. I carried it daily for several years off duty (full size on duty). I have not used a compact Kimber so I can not give any comment to that. I am very comfy withmy 5" Kimber. Several classes of 1K rounds or more without cleaning and no issues. Maybe the newer units are just not up to the task.
