My grandad was tellin me he had an issued colt 1911 said It was the most inaccurate gun out of the box he's ever shot.

Little history here for yall:

Back in the day they figured out the slide to frame fitment was the reason for this.  The way they fixed it way back when was by putting it on a hard surface with a piece of wood/metal over the gun and driving a jeep onto them.

Now for the new generation i would suggest a vice or di-electric (spelling) grease.  The best way to check is to wiggle the slide left and right while holding the grip firm.  If its got slop in it tighten it doen in a vice (just becareful to not over tighen) then run a fine file once or twice to clean it up.  The other version is to use di-electri grease in the slide rails then put it back together.  Instant accuracy upgrade!
