[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 3582147, member: 14520"] I agree with others that the mags are likely the issue and it appears you have figured that out too. I agree that you should not polish the feed ramp. Polishing the feed ramp is a terribly overused suggestion and is rarely needed. The other big item that can be an issue is an extractor that is not properly champfered. This is common on new pistols. Since a 1911 is a controlled feed action the round can get hung up when trying to go under the extractor and will nose dive into the ramp. [/QUOTE]
