| I recently bought a Charles Daley Compact 1911 and it sometimes holds open the slide with rounds still in the mag. I'm trying to figure out if I'm dealing with a break-in issue, or if I've got a problem. The fella I bought the gun from said he only put about 20 rds through it and put it on his belt, so its still pretty new. |
I tend to see it as, "if everyone was like me we would have more time to talk about other things other than the 31 flavors that come up over and over".  Nevertheless, it is not a common break in issue. Try the mags and let us know if that doesn't work. |
+1 I had a SA Champion that would do this. The inside of the slide stop would catch on the nose of the bullet, locking the GD slide back..............  Mags had nothing to do with this problem. After two trips to the 'smith, I traded it off................ |
+1 This is not a break-in issue, this is a Charles Daly/ArmsCorps issue. Get your hands on a set of (or the flat one) Jewelers files. and little by little file down the inside of the slide stop. Consider yourself lucky that this is the only problem you have with a CD. |
Mine came with a MecGar mag. The issues I had with the gun were unrelated to the mag. |
Cool. I didn't know they were shipping with MecGar. Good deal. Did i mention that mine were shit?
