Update: 1911 ejection problem. - Actually extraction problem.
Was at the range today and had a couple ejection failures that I'm not sure were the guns fault.
I had gone though 150 rounds of .44 mag and was finishing up 150 rounds of .45acp when the jams started showing up, 3 total. Most of the acp rounds were draw, fire one, reholster. Some were double taps. 95% were draw and fire. When it jammed, the spent casing was only extracted 1/4" or so but was still in the chamber. After the second jam I fired a couple rounds just standing without drawing and there were no jams. After the 3rd I ran a clip with some slow, some double tap and a clip rapid fire all standing with no jams.
The jams were only showing up on the draw and fire and by that point I was getting tired. I think I was limp wristing the gun which caused the jams. My aim was also going away and my groupings were widening. I called it a day when an errant double tap hit the carrier... (1st time in 13 years...)
What do you think? Indian or the arrow?
Gun's a mostly stock Colt Commander and I was shooting factory Remington UMC 230gr round ball.
This is also the first time drawing from a holster at the range. Last holster was a small of the back, now I have a serpa hip holster.Last edited by cobra2411; December 8th, 2008 at 01:07 AM.
