Even though it shouldn't be a problem, the pistol wasn't designed to be hand cycled, especially with live or complete cartridges. If the rounds are within specs for OAL, try firing them, to see if this really is a problem.

Is there a shok buff installed? Sometimes compacts and shok buffs don't mix. They limit the distance that the slide can travel and that can lead to malfunctions of the type you're having. Also check the extractor tension. Is the ejector intact? No chipped or broken tip? Hope this helps.

Has the ejection port been lowered, widened and flaired?
On a Colt Commander I once had, I had that problem, until I lowered, widened and flaired the ejection port... As for the Shok-Buffs..the poster above me is also right. An old Champion I had gotten had Shok-buffs in them and you could not get the full range of movement of the slide. I took them out and although I could move the slide farther back, I still had to lower, widen and flair the ejection port. |

I had the same problem w/ my Kahr MK9 and Rem Golden Sabres. The Sabres were a bit longer than other HP ammo so I switched my choice of ammo.

The ejection port is indeed lowered and flared and there is no shock buff

You can file the face of the ejector to change the way the casings eject, but it's hard explain on the net...
Is the nose of the bullet catching the forward edge of the ejection port? |

it's the end of the round that is catching. There just isnt enough room for the round to angle up to clear the top of the ejection port.

It sounds like to me that the extractor and the ejector needs to be tuned up...
I'm no 1911 'smith, but I have stayed at a Holiday Express once and it SUCKED!
