Should a 1911 be able to slow feed (controlled release of the slide, chambering a round) without jamming? I have two 1911s. One is a Kimber stainless ii that I am trying to troubleshoot, the other is a 1945 R.R. USGI. The USGI doesn't, the kimber does, jamming the round nose up appearing to jam between the bottom of the extractor and the top of the chamber. The reason this matters is that I am getting the exact same jam occasionally during firing with all magazines, particularly on the last round. This happens with all varieties of factory ammo.
My first though was the extractor, but after beveling, polishing, and relieving the tension, I am not so sure. I am hoping to get Kimber to fix this since the gun has less than 1000 rounds. I need to trust this gun, but can't right now. It is exceptionally accurate, and is my favorite shooter as well as my carry gun.
