Any 3 point jam advice? I have a base model Witness 10mm that had the usual sharp chamber edges on it. I was getting occasional jams so I eased them a tiny bit. I also polished the integral feed ramp. I occasionally. 3 or 4 per hundred, get the 3 point jamming and it's about the only issue I have left. I moved up to 5% Wolff mag springs, I'm thinking I may want to order some 10% for they are a no touch "possible" fix. What say the gurus.
I moved down from 20 lb wolff spring to 18 pound spring and it improved, but I still get these three point jams enough not to carry this hunking thing. Man, 15+1 of 180s and 33oz pistol make it a workout weight?
It's my woods gun, BTW. Handloads are worse, but it happens on factory ammo too. I know, you are the 1911 tuner, but any advice is helpful. I'm not super attached to this gun and it's price point does not make me want to take it to a gunsmith. I didn't go crazy by any means and did not alter the feed ramp into the chamber as so feared in the 10mm case due to high pressure. Never had any bulging or what not FYI.
Anyhoo, any advice on where to start? I think it may still be hanging up at 12:00 on the top of the chamber, but is some more easing here best, or maybe a little off the chamber part of the ramp, which is essentially untouched beside some flitz polish and a few fleeting moments with a dremel, probably less. Less is more as they say, and I have been ultra careful not to overdo it. I wish I had a range in my back yard.
I have been very careful, but admittedly, I don't have any angle measuring equipment. That said, if pics will help, please ask. If you don't work on stinking witnesses, that's okay too. Just looking around for helpful hints. I know these pistols will run well, but I also know, like the 1911, they can have their woes. Thankfully, it's not a high dollar gun, so I'm willing to learn and not willing to overdo it. I like my face just the way it is, thank you. Safety first, reliability last. On this one at least. I have a compact 45 for CCW that gobbles up everything. It's not a 1911 unfortunately.
Less is more, as I stated. I'm just trying to fix the right problem first, not last. You understand tuner, I'm sure of that.
