Just got my Rock Island 10mm 1911 today

Wish I could find a replacement mag for my RIA 1911 10mm double stack. Maybe that might help it but 500 rds through it and a factory "tune up" and it still VERY problematic..

May be slightly OT, but you should try the 10mm revolver. That's fun.

Factory mags, not so good. My wilson combats (I bought 3 9 rnds) run great. I love that gun

Got it in, cleaned all the factory gunk out of it and she's kinda ready to run. Recoil spring is a booger but that's ok. I've seen this before with a new gun not wanting to eject or chamber shells out of the box. A lot of racking and use fixes it but I was surprised how much issue I was having. It's either the gun or the mags that need's broke in and maybe both. Have racked it till my arms are sore and loaded the mags full and that's the way they'll stay all night. Also racked the slide and locked it back for the night.
Now I'll just drop 50 to 100 rounds tomorrow and see how she breaks in. If I don't see results soon, I'm done with the 10mm. Never owned one and wanted it to run like a scalded cat. Lets see if she does.

You cannot reliably function test a pistol by manually racking rounds through it.
