I used all 4 of the CMC magazines today. One had a problem. I set it and the new magazine from RIA aside.Have you had any failures with the CMC
Mags.did you run them today or just the mag armscor sent you? Just curious
Put a little piece of tape on that ābottom plate thingieā so you can keep track of the culprits.I used all 4 of the CMC magazines today. One had a problem. I set it and the new magazine from RIA aside.
OOh those sexy technical terms....Put a little piece of tape on that ābottom plate thingieā so you can keep track of the culprits.
LOL. Yes, I had planned on getting to that if I kept having the problems tomorrow and Sunday. I wanted to get a bigger data pile before going to the guru of the 1911.....a few hundred more rounds should tell us something, I guess.Has any asked @John Travis if he had any ideas or fixes,I mean besides me.just now
You will...ā¦..and again...ā¦..and again...ā¦..I see what I mean....We will try some Wilson mags Sunday....sure can't be any worse.If I have to send the gun back again, I will.
Stop saying that!! Have some faith.You will...ā¦..and again...ā¦..and again...ā¦.
I'm just going to act like I didn't read this......I am reading JT's brain waves as I sit here. Yes. it's coming in clearer...yes, here it comes..."Hell. this ain't no 1911, it's a 9mm."
If thereās more than one culprit, you might wanna number āem.OOh those sexy technical terms....
I shall mark them with a huge red X.....
So far only the new one they sent me (black, no markings) and one of the CMC (silver, no markings)....If thereās more than one culprit, you might wanna number āem.
Just tryinā to share the love.So far only the new one they sent me (black, no markings) and one of the CMC (silver, no markings)....
If I have issues tomorrow with the other CMC ones, I'll mark them differently. (You're just full of sunshine and bunny kisses, aren't you?? LOL.)
I number my mags ... ID number like 19-1 ... 19 indicates year I brought it in to the rotation and 1 the number in that yearās rotation. I keep a range book in my bag (or some way) for noting any issues I have with any firearm for future reference. When I get time Iāll go back and look at trends or such and see what pops up. If it a particular mag, ammo or such it will show up usually. Then go from there with trying other known good mags in the problem firearm while trying the possible bad mag in other firearms to see if it happens there.I used all 4 of the CMC magazines today.

Feed lips, follower angle or other possible mag related issue would be weeded out by that!You will...ā¦..and again...ā¦..and again...ā¦..I see what I mean....We will try some PROVEN Wilson mags Sunday....sure can't be any worse.

Since youāre using FMJ ammo I wouldnāt question ammo now but hollow points are going to be something you also will need to prove reliably function as well ... 100% with FMJ donāt mean 100% with SD ammo (and then even specific brands).

The 9mm ETMs stand taller than others, and my factory mag and my Dawson/metalforms already have the case head coming in contact with the ejector. I like Wilson mags for 45, but not for 9mm.
HMMMMMMmmmmā¦.I see what I mean...ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..I have had practically perfect luck when it is all in 45 ACP.
Try her possible bad mag in that Colt ... and your Coltās mags which Iām guessing are those solid rounds without a failure are your Wilsons ... which when run in her RIA might make allow RIA not miss a beat also. I typically look a mags as the weakest link in any bottom feeder be it a 1911 or Glock or AR ... and I believe 9mm 1911ās are a little more sensitive in that area.I have a Colt 9mm with some sights and trigger work that she has shot. It has Never missed a beat with her or anybody else. She has a gun problem.
Will bring the camera Sunday.Does anyone at Billyās have a Go Pro? If they do film Millie shooting the gun. When it malfunctions take the Go Pro and focus on the malfunction. Do it multiple times if necessary. Document the round, the mag etc.... Send the file to RIA and tell them you want a new gun.
I am willing to let her use Anything I have in the mag department...she ain't putting shit she's got in My guns.Try her possible bad mag in that Colt ... and your Coltās mags which Iām guessing are those solid rounds without a failure are your Wilsons ... which when run in her RIA might make allow RIA not miss a beat also.

I've pretty much quit with the HP ammo. All of it is FMJ, in all the guns. It's what I use at the range, and it's what I use in my carry gun.I number my mags ...

I actually did get a Wilson Combat magazine for the 1911 .45 on the recommendation of the guy at the range whose name I can't remember. Those things are pricey!Probably just need to get a dremel and some cutting compound and polish the feed ramp.
...Iām kidding, donāt do that. My money is on the magazines. 2 words, Wilson Combat.
Yeah, I know that guy, Mr. ImOnCommission, right?I actually did get a Wilson Combat magazine for the 1911 .45 on the recommendation of the guy at the range whose name I can't remember. Those things are pricey!
PS...don't start with the feed ramp! Lol.
I don't have one, but I guess someone can do little videos with my camera. If anyone has the time to mess with that. I don't want the whole day to be about my gun and its issues, though.Does anyone at Billyās have a Go Pro? If they do film Millie shooting the gun.

Dang it, you made me shoot tea out my nose! LOL.I am willing to let her use Anything I have in the mag department...she ain't putting shit she's got in My guns.
Yeah, that guy!! I'm willing to go a little extra for my 1911s...up to a point. So far, it's been all good. For that particular gun. So far. lol.Yeah, I know that guy, Mr. ImOnCommission, right?
Give her some of that ammo we were shooting in that Commander yesterday. It should have enough power to work the slide.I am willing to let her use Anything I have in the mag department...she ain't putting shit she's got in My guns.
Are you trying to make my hand hurt? Remember, I got the girl hands and am delicate.....lol.Give her some of that ammo we were shooting in that Commander yesterday. It should have enough power to work the slide.
OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Give her some of that ammo we were shooting in that Commander yesterday. It should have enough power to work the slide.
You have a great one in the safe. Take it out and shoot the darn thingWhat I can tell you, and I hesitate to humiliate myself thusly, is that I donāt remember ever even firing a 1911.
I knew there had to be a "technical" term for the push-upp-y thingy!! Thanks!
Delicate,who are you trying to kidAre you trying to make my hand hurt? Remember, I got the girl hands and am delicate.....lol.
