I have a Springfield .45. Its matt finish real plane jane that shoots Xs all day at 50 yards. I love this gun but I recently noticed a problem with it. I dont really know if it did this all along or not. I've had the gun probably 10 years or so.
With a loaded round in the chamber if you hold the gun up and tilt it muzzle down you can hear the round fall in the chamber. When I discovered this I turned the gun around in my hand muzzle straight up and shook the gun up and down and you can hear the round going up and down in the chamber. Excessive headspace you say?? Let me continue...
I took my gold cup and switched the barrels and loaded it up and yup--still did it. Pretty weird huh. So I got to thinking maybe it was the extractor even though it works perfectly I took it out and bent it slightly and man it ejects even better BUT, still the rattle.
I really like this gun but I'm afraid its gotta go unless somebody can help me figure this out. TIA......
