So far, my Mil-Spec and my Garrison have been 100% with WWB 230 grain ball and USA Ready flat noses, as well as Blazer brass-cased 230-grain FMJ. I have not had the time or money to try out a variety of self-defense loads.
I use Ed Brown mags for serious ammo. That's why I'm starting this thread--please tell your experiences good or bad with different ammo in your Springfields.

I have a TRP that has yet to have issues with anything. Various "defensive" loads, cheap bulk of whatever I could find.
I have found with 1911s, most issues seem to be solved with quality mags. I have had really good luck with Springfield factory mags, but also with Chip McCormicks. |

My Loaded and Range Officer eat everything, including 175, 185 and 200 grain SWCs and the old flying ashtray HPs.

I've been shooting every kind of ammo imaginable through my Loaded for 15 years with no issues ever. I do use CMC mags though.

I haven't found an ammo/mag combination that my Loaded won't reliably cycle.

I've never had an ammo concern with a milspec, a loaded SS champion, a MC operator, a loaded, or a LW champion operator.
That's with HST, gold dots, ball, 200gr swc, and 255gr swc. I typically use Wilson mags or chip McCormicks. |
