I just purchased my 1911 literally yesterday, its a springfield micro compact and i was wondering do any of you who own one (or any micro compact for that matter) have a problem as to where the slide lock catches mid magazine? It happened a few times today at the range about 2 or 3 rounds in the magazine slide would catch with there still being 3 more rounds in the magazine. Also do any of you guys get hit with your spent shells? I was getting pelted in the face and on the top of my head from spent Carts. |

Quoted: Slide stop could also be out of spec and catching on the nose of the bullets as they're moving up in the mag column. Also, you might want to check to see that the extractor is tensioned properly. Might cure any ejection problems. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Well it is brand new so one would assume all those things would be up to code. I didnt get a chance to go out sunday i will try to go out sometime later on this week and ill up date im hoping it doesnt keep doing this, but a small side note i dont think it is my hand hitting the slide lock i have to reposition my hand in order to hit the slide release or hit it with my free hand. |

Ask someone that has problems with their $1400 Springfield TRP not liking Wilson mags. Swap out the Springfield slide stop, and they work like they're supposed to. New parts can be crappy too 
To be sure, check and see if there's a lot of copper on the nub of the slide stop that's inside the magwell. That will help lead you in the right direction. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
