In all fairness, I've only had it 5 days. Took it apart to clean it a bit, didn't need much, on Monday. Looks like I won't be able to take it out for at least three weeks unfortunately. Schedule looking pretty full for the next two weekends. I have shot both my K31 and K11. Of the two, I believe I prefer the K31, probably the slightly longer sight radius which should like you say make me love the 1911.
