I have a full size 1911 Colt, recent manufacture, I would estimate 1000 rounds through it, none of which were +P. Until yesterday it worked with 100 % reliability, with JHPs and FMJs.
I sent the slide off to have night sights put on by Wilson's, and got it back yesterday, put the gun back together, and went shooting.
Now it is having multiple failures to feed. The slide velocity, as it closes, seems very slow. I can actually feel and see the slide moving its so slow. I can actually get the gun back on target between shots before the slide has fully closed!
The cartridges are occassional getting hung up, and not feeding into the chamber. This has never happened before with this gun.
So what could have happened?
Could my recoil spring have gotten weak?
Any help from 1911 experts would be appreciated!
