The problem occurs when the slide is locked open and I install a full magazine, the round does not come up high enough for the slide to chamber a round once I release the slide.
However, if I install a full magazine with the slide locked back and then pull back on the slide and release it, it will chamber a round just fine.
The other way I can get it to chamber a round when the slide is locked back is by positioning the top round of a full magazine about 1/4 inch forward from the back of the magazine. This way when the magazine is inserted you can actually see it come up high enough so that the slide can now catch the top round to chamber it as the slide goes forward.
I sent this back to Colt a couple months ago and they had it for over a month and a half. According to them they went all though and said it worked fine with their magazines.
Well all my magazines are Colt mags so I asked them for the part number of the one they used (Colt # SP577461) and I ordered two of them. They ended being the up the same as what I already had and gave me the same problem.
I compared it to my full size 1911 and I think the problem is the slide does not lock back far enough. I have tried this with both 6 and 7 round magazines. I have also tried putting only 1 round in each of the magazines, same result
I was wondering if you have heard of this or might have any ideas.
