I have owned a DW Valkyrie for approx 3 months now. I passed 3,800 rounds with it yesterday. It hasn't had a single issue.... (the rear sight started to come loose so I put a drop of locktite on and tightened the set screw), but it hasn't had a single feeding issue of any kind. I bought 8 mags from checkmate, 7 rounders and a couple of 10 round mags, and the gun has been 100%. I couldn't be happier. The problem is me, I've never really owned a 1911 for any period of time, always plastic guns, so I don't know if this is normal or not. My ejector, https://www.shootingillustrated.com/articles/2016/2/8/1911-ejector-installation/ , rocks back and forth a little, and I can lift the front of it up maybe a 1/16" and kind of rock it. I clean the gun thoroughly after I put any rounds through it, but I never payed any attention to how tight the extractor was vs how tight it is. Anyone with knowledge on this, please help. I shoot steel every tuesday night and this is my favorite pistol by far, I don't want to break anything further if I can prevent it.
Thanks, Woody |
