I picked it up at Academy for what I thought was a very reasonable $715. Today I picked up 3 Chip McCormick combat power mags from gt distributors. And to answer Rotor, I have sent guns back to manufacturers before however I like to put them through their paces first. I am taking it out tomorrow aft...

So I have narrowed down the problem to the follower allowing the front of the bullet to drop. It is very slight but it is enough for the tip of the round to not slide up the feed ramp. I marked the mags and discovered it is only one that is causing the problem.

I only got through about 50. I'm going to order a new mag and see if that works.

I cleaned and lubed before shooting. It looks like the rounds are tilted down a bit when the mags are fully loaded.

Winchester 230g fmj bulk
Remington 230g jhp
Hornady 220g critical duty +p

Ok, so I'm having a feed issue. The first and sometimes second round in the magazine will hit the feed ramp and stop. Hitting hard enough to set the bullets back in the casings. Any ideas?

What brand is your 1911?

Remington R1 enhanced

Well I have joined the ranks. This is my first 1911 purchase. I can already tell there will be more to follow.

Edited to add: as soon as I figure out why I can not get the picture to work I will add it.

Let's try this

9mm may expand but 45 don't shrink.
