Why the fuck does my 1911 keep pushing the rounds further back into the brass when I drop the slide? For reference I have a RIA 1911>inb4 get a better gun
1911's cause lots of setback because of how they ride the ramp.
Because you are using shitty ammo. Probably Hornady who is notorious for not crimping.
>>647443281911s are picky due to the shape of hollow points, you're running into an issue where the bullet is being forced into the feed ramp of the barrel by the slide but not being fed into the barrel. typically this can be fixed with a different magazine but it's a combination between projectile, magazine, and maybe even the feed ramp of the barrel itself
>>64744333>>64744335>>64744362Thank y'all, this has genuinely been helpful. I guess my next step would be simplest which is get better hollow points and if that doesn't work then I guess polishing the feed ramp?
>>64744328>>64744377the shape of the 1911 hates ammo that isn't round-nosepolishing the feed ramp won't do anything, you'd need to change the actual geometry itselflike the others said, just get better ammo
>>64744377like the other anon said polishing, while good, it won't aid in how the round itself is physically moved into the barrel. you'll have to modify the shape of it or look for a barrel that has a style of feed ramp that differs from GI-style to begin with. I use wilson combat magazines in my 1911 (I shoot hollow points, of course) if you want to try a magazine change first
>>64744335Really? I've shot a couple boxes of Hornady Critical Defense through my Tisas, and didn't notice anything.
>>64744386>>64744393Ok better ammo is the Occam's razor here, if that doesn't work then I'll definitely see about the wilson mags cause holy they are pricey and I'm just an E-4 lmao
>>64744434try cobra mags (tripp research). i've seen posts all over the internet saying they're the best 1911 mags.
>>64744328This >>64744362 + remove plastic speed buffer if you've added it, timing being fucky variable and dubious benefit.
one thing about 1911s is some have the feed ramp built into the barrel and others are built in the frame. I think one over the other allows reliable hollow point cycling but ball ammo usually fixes feed problems. "git bettur ghun" is solid advice because damn it theres ALOT of weird 1911s out there and most cannot handle hot ammo either to get around their hollow point deficiency. maybe try those bullets that encompass an almost round nose look with a little plastic, ballistic tip while still being a hollow point? picrel is video my smith 4566 cycling empty, weightless .45 brass reliably, by hand of course. good luck, fren
>>64744328 I'm notorious for buying the cheapest everything until it's fucking dead or does something cool. Did RIA make or sell a 9m/38 Super barrel that would drop in your gun? 50 years ago I bought spare barrel for Colt .38 Super and machined the back of the barrel out to .45 case diameter. 30-06 cases cut off behind the shoulder then necked down to 9mm.I had to buy a little piece of tool steel and make an extractor with a little longer claw because the '06 rim smaller diameter. What was cool about it was THE GUN WOULD FEED AND EJECT A MAG OF EMPTY CASES because of the shoulder on the case.Also the brass was a LOT thicker just ahead of the rim and IF you needed or wanted to "throat" the barrel for even better feeding the case wasn't going to blow out. I had gotten a 6' barrel but had no chrono back then. It would do it's impression of a .357 Mag spitting outany shape bullet you wanted. Hey just a thought - too much work but THAT would fix it :D
Because you are using retarded meme bullets invented as a copium for people too stupid to appreciate the inherent advantage of the big bore 45 and who are too gullible to believe that overpenetration is actually a thing.
>>64744394Not hornady, not a 1911, but>shootin my .357 mag>shitty ass armscor ammo> last bullet>pull the hammer back, jamWhat the fuck>cylinder rotates to the left, however because shitty armscor doesnt crimp their bullets, the 6th round physically was able to work itself forward because of the inertia from the other 5 rounds being fired>cant rotate the cylinder>cant open it>critical failureDont buy shitty ammo
>>64746153The only time I've had problems with ammo is with Blazer. Everything from fiochi, Winchester, Hornady, and even fucking steel ball from WW2 function just fine. Then in a 50 round box, I had a failure to load, failure to extract, and a fucking stove pipe. Blazer is absolute shit and nobody should buy it.
