Howdy folks-
Just curious about something. I shot my 1911 during IDPA for a while until switching to one or two other pistols. I switched from the 1911 as my carry pistol at that time too.
The only issue I had with my 1911 was when I was doing reloads. I used the slide release protrusion on the right side as a finger index for my trigger finger. As I'd drop the slide using the slide release, the pressure from my trigger finger would manage to push out the slide release pin enough to lock it up and cause a malfunction.
Assuming that made sense, anyone have this problem? The solution obviously is to retrain to keep my finger straight and on the guard instead of up and on the 'button'. But here we are...
