[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 1936432, member: 385"] Lots of "what if's" here. 2nd to stop polishing the feed ramp; if you take too much off or change the angle, then the only remedy is to bridge cut and frame and replace the barrel with a ramped one. This is pricey. Check your ammo OAL. Factory stuff may NOT feed as it is too short for 1911's. Go to Brian Enos forum and kick around in the reloading section for some COL data. Could be the mags need tuning. That's common with mags from some makers. The 40 S&W can be a PIB to get to run in a 1911, until you get everything right. The 1911 was made to run with COL's of the .45 ACP. The Super .38 mirrors this same COL and usually runs fine. Ditto the 9 X 23. All the others, 9mm Luger, etc. are a tad harder to get to run.
