Springfield 1911 GI. Primer has put a dent in the breech face and closed up the firing pin hole. This has happened 3 times in different configurations. The latest is with a new Caspian slide after maybe 200 rounds. The first two times were with the original springfield slide. SA repaired it once with a bushing but after the second time I replaced the slide. Normal loads are 200gr LSWC 5gr bullseye. I also have shot a lot of walmart winchester white box also.
In its current form the frame is still SA but it has a wilson barrel, Wolffe springs, Caspian slide, Cylinder and slide hammer / sear / disconector. EGW (.202) slide stop and wilson barrel link. Ed Brown pin set. Had a local gunsmith install / fit the barrel to the new slide and generally check things out but now I'm right back where I started (but with a stack on receipts). Ideas?
Thanks, Brian
