Last night I shot my first single stack classic and boy was it fun. However I got more jams than a smuckers factory in my springer 1911 loaded. They were all due to failure to eject the casing. So I thought that it was the extractor so I went into the back office and pulled the slide and put a round under the chamber and nothing happened, it did not fall out. So the gun smith said it was fine as far as the ejector goes. So I oiled the crap out of the thing and cleaned up the rails a bit and shot 16 rounds with one of the ejection problems. I was using winchester white box 230 ball ammo. I have had this problem last week on the fun shoot. I was using the same ammo so I was leaning toward the ammo being the problem, but I was wonder if anyone can give me some insight on this.
Oh yeah, I had the weirdest jam too. The pistol jammed up and did not extract the empty casing so I tap racked and no bang so I ejected the mag and "cleared" the pistol. Well the casing was still in the barrel and I had not noticed so I ran the mag home and the first round stripped off and turned 180 and chambered the bullet facing me. I was furious and wanted to pitch a fit like a little baby. We grabbed a squib rod and cleared it and then shot it again. The dang ole missery of it was that I had 5 A hits and 1 C hit.
