i just recently picked up a used springfield 1911a1 and when i rack the slide to cycle ammo it seems like it jams up unless i pull it back and let it go also when i pull it back it will not eject unless i pull it back fast i am new to 1911's so i was wondering if this is normal or if there is a problem i used to have a glock and there was never an issue when i did it with the glock
no i have not fired it yet
Yeah, you cannot really tell anything from a malf from hand-cycling - different physics forces. Just gotta shoot - it's probably just fine!
alright thanks guys so do 1911 parts interchange with one another like say i wanted to get a full length guide rod ?
[on second thought, I may be wrong (I said yes).... I'll let someone else answer that]
Of all the things that 1911 needs, a FLGR is NOT one of them. IMHO I think a FLGR is needed only if running a comp on it.
The four basic things a COMBAT/CARRY .45 needs to make it more shooter friendly is...
1. Good set of sights.
2. Good elongated/speed trigger.
3. Beavertail grip safety
4. Commander style/slotted/skelotonized hammer.
Everything else is just cosmetic junk.
If it were mine, I would also install a flat MSH. Perhaps a decent thumb safety if the one on it currently was too skinny. But never an ambi...I hate ambis.
Sounds like nothing is wrong, it just needs slide velocity. Have you fired it?
Puctuation is your friend.
Same could be said for spelling.
Wish I had the money for good compact 1911.
hahaha
