Difficulty Loading/Dropping Magazines on Colt 1911
Greetings all ... am having difficulty loading/dropping magazines in a Colt 1991 80 series that I just purchased. I am the second owner but the first owner never fired the pistol. Couple of things:
1. Magazine release is very stiff. I did remove (was difficult as opposed to removing the magazine release on my Remington R1) and cleaned it up assuming maybe it was crude up but it didn't appear to be.
2. Magazines won't insert unless the Mag Release is depressed.
3. When dropping a magazine, they can be difficult to remove at times ... seem to be stuck.
4. Have tried both the Colt mags and Remington R1 mags ... problems are the same in both.
Not sure if the issue is with the Mag Release ... appreciate any suggestions you might have.
Thanks,
Rainier
