A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to get an sr1911. I put about 100 rounds through it and it was great. I'm also a uspsa shooter and decided to test it out in a match over the weekend.
So during the the match all was well, until the final stage. The buzzer sounded and my first round went off and then nothing. I tapped the mag, racked the slide and bang, but again nothing after the gun fired. The timer was running so I was not really paying attention to the type of malfunction I was having so I dropped the mag put a new one in and it took off running with no problem and I finished the stage.
So I got to wondering was it the mag or the gun? The malfunction happened with the ruger factory mag that came with the gun. The next day I went to the local indoor range and put 50 rounds thru the gun with Kimber pro mags and no malfunctions. Then I put the problem ruger factory mag in and I did notice it was pretty hard to load the mag with ammo. I racked a round in and it went bang but it did not extract the shell. The next round in the mag was pushing against it and it ripped the rim off of the spent case.
I took the mag out and went back to the Kimber mags and had another trouble free 50 rounds.
Of course this was a magazine malfunction and not the gun but has anyone heard of a malfunction like this? I attached an image of the shell casing.
Thanks for your help.
