I picked up a used Ciener .22lr conversion kit for my 1911s.
Shoots mostly okay, except now and then it won't go fully into battery.... just a half millimeter off, but enough to keep it from firing.
Looks to me like the cutout on the barrel that the extractor slots into might not be right, and when you push it into battery, the extractor gets moved out of the way just a hair. (toward the outside of the slide).
Question is........
do I take the risk of messing with the extractor, thus probably leading to untold woes, or
install a stronger return spring so that it provides enough force to close it properly, or
take it to a qualified local gunsmith?
