SPRINGFIELD ULTRA COMPACT 45

[PHILLYFIRE3]

I HAVE A SPRINGFIELD ULTRA COMPACT 45. IT JAMS 90%OF THE TIME WHEN I CYCLE A ROUND THROUGH. THIS INCLUDES BALL AND HOLLOW POINT AMMO. SHOULD I TAKE IT TOO A GUN SMITH OR IS THERE OTHER OPTIONS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

The only other option I can think of is to dump it. But Im sure that already crossed your mind.

I can think of another option, contact Springfield.

What do you mean when you say it jams when you "Cycle a round". Does this mean its jamming when you are not shooting it? ie not returning fully to battery after you rack the slide ? Does it jam when you shoot it?

Have you tried many different ammo already? Has anyone else shot it besides you? Is it cleaned, oiled, and assembled properly? I am going to be in SPAG Thursday. I can guinea pig some shooting/ammo for you if you'd like.

is on Ellsworth, between 8th & 9th in South Philly. Definitely let someone else shoot the gun to make sure that it's not you. If all else fails, call Springfield. I am sure they'll repair it for free regardless of your buying it used.

Springfield guarentees thier guns for life, so I would def give them a call as long as all your paper work and serial numbers are legit.

I will buy it from you if you dont want to bother with it I have been looking for one.

Try using only 230gr. ball ammo.

Did you ever resolve this issue and, if so, what was the problem and solution?
