Took my new SA fullsize 9mm loaded and my Colt Gold Cup Trophy to the range today.
After firing the first round, my SA would not fully load the next round (the slide would not be all the way forward). I was hesitant to try to force the slide forward so I would clear the gun and start over. After the first round, same thing. Occasionally I'd get 2 rounds off in a row but that was rare. I tried both magazines (hadn't purchased any other ones yet since the couple of shops I called didn't have 9mm), and 3 different ammos (PMC, Winchester, Blazer). I also tried loading different number of rounds in the mags.
I brought the gun home and polished the feed ramp and cleaned/lubed the gun. Will try to get to the range again tomorrow.
Any ideas of what might be wrong? Just thought I'd try to figure it out prior to calling Springfield. I thought it would be fun to have a 1911 9mm but maybe they just work better in the .45 cal since, I suppose, they were originally designed in .45 cal.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
