I recently purchased a brand new RIA 1911 Govt model in 9mm.
I cleaned the gun before I shot it. I tried the magazine and cycled by hand all the 9 rounds of 9mm. They all ejected with force with the PMC 115gr and reloads of 125gr with 5.7gr of Unique. I then tried shooting the PMC, but 19 out of 20 had FTE. The empty casing just sat at the mouth of the chamber. But when racked the slide to release the empty casing, it flew out with authority. I also made sure that I did not limp wrist. I then tried my reloads (125gn ). All of 30 fired and cycled completely throwing the empty casing 5 feet behind me on the right. THe extractor looked solid and seemed to function well.
Why did the 115gr cycle when I racked them out of the chamber but failed to when fired?
My Glock 19 and CZ 7B had no issues with the PMC 115gr ammo.
Confused...
