Bought a new one yesterday. Liked the idea of the 13rd high cap mag., and the price was right, so I made the purchase. Always wanted a 1911 45, and was looking forward to taking her home and going the first "pre-fire" clean-up. I was very impressed with the quality and workmenship. Had to break her down several times to get used to all the steps, but after the 3rd time, it was as easy as my Glock. Went to the indoor today loaded with 50 rds. of Remington 230gr. FMJ and couldn't wait to try her out. Set a target at about 15 yrds for starters. 1st 4 in a 2 inch group. 5th round problem with round going into the barrel. Fixed and reset the target to 25 yrds. 6 through 9 went in a 3 inch group. 10th jammed again. 11 & 12 right next to 6 though 9. 13th, another entry jam. At this point, I'm starting to worry. Slapped the next clip in and hoped for better. Had 2 jams with that clip of 13. At this point, I'm heading for the counter looking for a different brand of 45ACP. Bought another box, different mfg., of 50, same grain & FMJ. Shot 2 more 13rd clips with 5 more jam's. I loved the accuracy, hated the jam's. Has anyone ever had this problem to this extreme? The counterman at the indoor range, also is the place where I purchaced it, told me to let the gunsmith look at it tomorrow, and he'll fix any problems. Looked at the ramp through a mag. glass and it looked fine, no machine marks.
Thanks ahead of time.............
