I own a Girsan MC1911 C XLV and so yes, I have some experience.

Notice the somewhat unusual round count.

The reason I stopped after 53 rounds is ...

... the barrel bushing broke. Usually that would not be an issue since I keep barrel bushings in my range bag but the Girsan MC1911 C XLV uses a non-standard smaller in length and diameter than normal size and none of the brazillion bushing I had would fit.

Since the Girsan MC1911 C XLV was only about a week old EAA did email me a replacement and I also bought a couple spares to have on hand.

"Other than that Mrs Lincoln how was the play?"

It came with only a single ACT (Mec-Gar) magazine and in about as flimsy a case as I've seen in years. The fit and finish is barely passable with a very thin easily scratched surface and several scratches all the way through the surface, particularly a horizontal scratch under the slide stop. Accuracy and reliability have been satisfactory but it just looks like a pieces parts product. Little things like the thumb safety just look wrong and the right side safety has lots of play.

It's not bad and not something I don't take to the range but I really haven't the confidence that I have with the Tisas 1911s that were less expensive than the Girsan and do use standard size pieces parts.

 

I like mine, it’s taking some time and work to smooth out its operation. The trigger is good, not great, the ambi safety is rough and tight. I have a long slide 10mm, I need to shoot it way more, this would probably help with the tightness of some of the controls.
I like the pistol, so far not a failure to feed or eject, but I need to get several hundred rounds through it, to make a better review. It’s a Sportsman’s Warehouse special, green ceracote, hi vis sights, plastic grips, came with 2, 8 round magazines, for just over five hundred bucks, a great place to start a mild build.

 

The barrel bushing is not a good place for cast (or MIM) parts and you can see why.
