In my (admittedly limited) experience, most, if not all out-of-the-box 1911A1 pistols need tuning to some degree. Had a local expert "smith" tune my Springfield Armory V-10 Ultra Compact while I watched. Amazing what a skilled man with a file and years of experience can accomplish.
Slightly off topic, but true tale. The CCW class I attended had a lady Sheriffs Deputy instructing. When she ask what weapons I planned to carry, I replied either Kel-Tec P32 or compact 1911A1. She replied "Kel-tec for your light days, 1911A1 for when you need extra protection, right?".LMAO!
