I was wondering, how many jams you think are too many out of a new gun? specifically a 1911.
Story: I bought a 1911 at the beginning of Jan. and have taken it to the range twice. The first time, I fired 350 rounds through it and had a single jam. The next time I took it to the range(outdoors this time), I fired 250 rounds throught it and had 3 more jams. So to date the gun has 600 rounds through it and 4 jams.
How many here would be sending it back and how many would just shoot it more?
I would like to withhold the manufacture's name for now to discourage maker bashing but would like to give a little more detail.
The sessions were fired with factory ammo using the factory mags and aftermarket "Top quality" mags and three of the jams occured with the aftermarkets and one occured with the factory mag. For the record, I dont think the problem is the mags but rather, extractor related. They(jams) were failure to extracts resulting in an empty case being lodged longways between the breach and the slide(the part of the slide directly above the chamber) so what do you think?
Thanks.
