I am not 100% sure on why the 1911's have so many jams compared to the Glocks at a typical IDPA match, but one factor may be the hundred plus rounds that are fired at a match without a break for cleaning. There are probably finicky aftermarket mag problems too as most guys bring quite a few with them (3-4 mags are required to finish some stages). Empty mags are dropped on the ground during a stage and then they get reloaded for the next stage.... A little dirt on a plastic Glock mag does not typically cause problems my guess is that the same does not hold true for a shiny oiled new Kimber mag.
