I don't have to but so far my Firestorm Deluxe (same gun) has not given me the slightest indication that it will not go bang whenever I pull the trigger and continue to go bang every time until the mag is empty. Still early though, only a few hundred through it.
My shooting has improved, I can now consistently hit the narrow side of a barn.
Absolutley, Mine has 600 or so rounds through it with not even a hint of a malfunction. It also runs just as smooth as my Springfeild Loaded and is close on accuracy. I have read that the slides are forged which makes them an exeptional deal for the money. The fit and finish on mine is also amazing for the money. I would think that I got a rare awsome one, but everyone I have talked to says the same thing as me, Metro Arms knows how to make a good 1911!
Thanks for your replies,
Bdb

300 rounds and not one hiccup. Even with Sierra 185gr JHP handloads.

mine has been flawless in nearly 2 years of regular shooting carry it everyday!!
The Firestorm DLX (basically the same pistol as the aforementioned American Classic) I tested for the M1911.ORG E-zine was evaluated as a "Best Buy" for several reasons. Reliability was at the top of that list of reasons!
While I only fired about 500 rounds through the gun, it never failed to function with any of the tested ammunition. I would not hesitate to trust the pistol as an everyday carry weapon.
Mine has been totally reliable!
Have any of you noticed any unusual or excessive wear on your American Classic II 1911's ??? Thanks............
Mine has been totally reliable and I'd trust my life to it the same as I would any of my other guns.
i havent noticed any excesive wear on mine i did refinish it in flat black ceracoat but that was a personal choice.
