The pistol in question is a 1911 .45 Commmander circa 1955. When I put in a loaded magazine with slide forward, I can consistently chamber a round when I fully retrack the slide and release it.
However when I put in a loaded magazine with the slide held back by the slide stop, I cannot consistently chamber a round when I fully retrack the slide and release it as the slide stop sometimes rises up slightly and catch the slide. I can manually push down the slide stop and the new round will chamber but I had rather not operate the pistol that way.
Any ideas?
Thank you, Bill
