I recently built a 1911, and I am experiencing a FTF issue. I'm looking for how/why this is happening. I'm using a Chip McCormick 8 round magazine.
If I load the magazine to 8 rounds & insert the mag with the slide locked back, then close the slide, the nose of the round dips and jams into the bottom of the feedramp.
If I do the same procedure with the mag loaded to 7 rounds, the round feeds and the slide closes.
If I then drop the mag and load it to 8 rounds and have a round in the chamber and fire the gun, it will successfully load the next round.
Whats going on?
