Failure to feed, did I diagnose…
Correctly? Ruger SR1911 commander with FTF issues. It doesn’t like to feed at all. You can not “slap” it into battery. I’d call it a 3 point jam but I’ve not had an expert confirm that.
What I’ve tried
- Different recoil spring weights (slim, but ya gotta try)
- Various mags…Ruger, Springfield, Wilson, nighthawk
- double, triple checked “plunk” for rounds
- run same load & mags in my Kimber (5”)
Using 200gn w/ 5gn titegroup = 845fps in 5”
I’m down to extractor?? Seems a long shot but it’s either that or the throat angle (how would Ruger mess that up)
I got it 2nd hand so no real history.
