My 1911 has always had an issue with causing bullet setback.
Its a Taurus PT1911 which i hate mentioning as i hope to not get remarks about who made the gun.
But the gun always feeds reliably both FMJ and HP's and it will cause setback on both types of ammo.
Im always rechambering HP's after cleanings after a day at the range and also if i take the gun down to work on it as its been going threw a rebuild.
But i always keep it loaded and chambered as its my main ccw weapon.
I had forgot until just now but before i solved it by loading my first round and id use a FMJ and the rest HP's in the mag.
Im not so sure i could fix this myself even by following guides unless you folks think its rather easy too moderately challenging.
NO work has ever been performed on the ramp or throat of the barrel. But the ramp is polished and doesn't look chewed up or anything.
Is it best left alone and just keep chambering a FMJ as my first round, Or should i go in and try and fix the issue using true advice and help?
As an example a round will normally have too much setback after 3 chamberings.
I bought a 50 round box of Ranger T-Series 230gr +P and have 6 rounds i cant use now due to setback. Nor any way to fix those rounds.
Once the setback gets bad it also will cause the round to not chamber at all.
The case will catch and deform and jamb the gun if im not on top of this issue and watching the rounds. So i watch this issue closely and replace the round immediately.
I cant hand feed the chamber as my extractor just wont allow it as its the Wilson HD one and it wont play that game.
So anyone have advice or a guide i can use or should i keep my first round a FMJ and just keep replacing those? Wasting the Rangers is making me mad.
How safe would it be to partially disassemble the top end and chamber the round and then reassemble the gun? Its a series 80 gun so i think it would be pretty safe but just a pain. But id rather do that than keep wasting great ammo or using FMJ first round which i dont like the idea of either.
