It’s a .45, it doesn’t want to feed JHP from Chip, Wilson ETM 8 rounders. It feeds great from a Wilson 47D 7 rounder. Last two rounds always jam. Not a nose dive into the feed ramp but jammed partway into the barrels. It’s like the rim can’t get under the extractor but no matter how light I made the extractor it wouldn’t feed. Perhaps there is a geometry issue with the feedramp, magazine feed angle and slide. That said I enjoyed a 5 inch .45 a lot more than I thought I would, it recoils so nicely compared to a 4/4.25 inch .45.
Slide to frame fit is reasonably tight. Grip safety fitting was loose around the rat tail on the gun, the grip safety/beaver tail fitjment is strange as it allows for a lot of travel for the pivoting of the grip safety. Maybe it makes them easier to drop in fit, swapping mainspring housings will make the grip safety no longer functional without fitting the MSH.
I was going to get MecGar, Wilson 47D 8 rounders, and some other brands to try to see if those work. Or just sell it to make room for a higher end 1911 like a used Les Baer in the 1.5-1.7k range.
Personally a 9mm 1911 in this age is weird when there are so many 2011 9mms around. Like the DWX which takes CZ mags. The ergos on the DWX was great.
My job is trying to move production to Canada and China due to Tarriffs which I’m morally against, it’s betting against America, it feels so wrong so I’m thinking of quitting which means no more buying guns.
