I bought this Springfield 1911 brand new. It had no feed problems even during break-in. Then I had some jams at an informal competition-- I chalked them up to poor quality magazines that I bought just for the event. I have since junked them, but I am still seeing an alarming number of jams even with the factory mags.
It seems the rounds are not making it up the feed ramp for one reason or another (see attached picture).
This also happens with a Chip McCormick mag that I have. Should I spend money on different high-quality magazines to see if that resolves the problem, or should I focus on broadening my ammo choices? It seems to me the factory mags should work, especially with ball ammo.
I've seen this happen with 3 brands of ammo so far (American Eagle, Remington Golden Saber HPs, BVAC), and reloads.
At what point should I call Springfield and have them take a look at it?
Approx. 750 rounds through the gun.
