I have a Colt Gold Cup National Match Series 80 that I bought new back in 1990. I used this in the league shooting at ProShots Range here in Winston Salem.
Last night I had a malfunction I've never encountered before. We shoot 5 shot strings, so I had 5 rounds in a Wilson Combat mag (slightly, but not much, newer than the pistol.)
After the 4th shot of the string, the slide locked back, and the fifth unfired round was out of the pistol. I found that one on the floor. It happened twice more, then I switched to the original factory mags.
I haven't had an opportunity to examine things, but I'd be very happy to read suggestions about what I should look for, and how to fix this.
TIA.
