The problem is it jams about every third round. The spent casing gets caught half way ejected in the chamber. Im am using an el cheapo 8 round mag I bought from www.sportsmansguide.com and the clip that came with the gun factory new.

Quit shooting that shitty Wolf ammo and invest in some Wilson or McCormick mags.
Strip the gun down, remove the guide rod and barrel from the slide. Slide a round up under the extractor and see if it has enough tension to hold the round in place against the breechface. |

Is this your first 1911? Make sure you have a good grip, which is more of a locked wrist than a gorilla grip on the handle (for me anyways). Proper lube helps alot also. Worst comes to worst, some guns don't like certain ammo (I get more FTFeed with UMC than any other ammo). Keep us updated.

It will never cease to amaze me. I watched my friend do it on Saturday. People purchase the best guns and the worst ammo and can't believe they are having problems.

i shoot wolf in my loaded springfield 1911. i've shot 300rds of it so far without a single failure.
i will keep shooting it. clean the gun, buy decent mags, bring a few different brands of ammo to the range and then see what happens. |

I keep the gun very clean. I clean it up after every session of shooting. I ordered a Chip McCormick 8rnd mag to see if this makes a difference. I'll keep you updated. I appreciate all the info guys!

I know a guy with a Compass Lake match gun who will sometimes shoot Wolf in it and bitch like Hell about the residue and malfunctions. Dumbass!

In the 1911A1, it is imperative the recoil spring be matched to the load being used. The springs are available in 1 lb incriments accross a wide range.
Settle on a load you like, then do some function firing with different spring rates. The proper spring for the load will throw the cases 8 to 10 feet from the shooter consistently into a nice small area. Cases going too far indicate too light a spring, cases dribbling out indicate too heavy a spring. Once you settle on a spring/ammo combo, write the loading and spring weight down on a piece of paper, and put it under one of the grips. |

Funny, my 1911 had feeding problems with EVERY OTHER brand of ammo EXCEPT wolf.
I sent it back twice for the same problem because I want to shoot most if not every brand available. however I did have problems with wolf in my AR. go figure?

Ammo80, I had similiar issues with the 1911 loaded series jamming, also tro jamming, Called springfield, they said that the gun needs about 500 rounds to "break in" I have not gotten there yet, but after 300, it seems better. Buy one chip mccormick mag and try it. Shooting star mag.
