I just bought my first 1911.
When I first went to shoot it the slide doesn't want to load the rounds all the way when I release it, and it just doesn't function as smoothly as I had anticipated.
I am totally ignorant of 1911's but have many revolvers and also Springfield XDM s a Glock 20 and Ruger sr40C.
Is there something that I'm just missing about the 1911 and break in period? Or could this brand-new from the factory Ruger 10 mm 1911 just have problems?
also please explain the difference between the slide releases on the 1911's and on a typical Auto loader like a Glock or Springfield XDM.having a little difficulty figuring out what all the side levers are for.
Yes I know this sounds stupid.
I got the 1911 in the hopes that it would be more accurate and controllable than my Glock 20 with full power loads but in fact it is far less accurate at least in my hands even though it is heavier which I just don't get.
Help!?!
