Hi
I am not a 1911 expert and have been very lucky with most firearms I have used.
I have a like new Springfield Armory 6" barrel 1911 (10mm) and with both magazines, using two different brands of ammo (FMJ 180 grain and a FMJ 200 grain), I have the following two issues:
1. Failure to return to battery. Across 100 rounds today, it had to have happened at least once per mag. It might happen once and then be fine for 10 rounds or it might happen 2-3 rounds in a row.
2. Every now and then, it did not lock back on the last round. I don't remember how often that happened because I lost track once I became preoccupied with the Return to Battery issues.
What I will probably do is simply send this back to Springfield and let them check it out, but for my own knowledge, what usually causes these particular issues?
