I stopped by a gun store to pick up an Ammo Can. WHile waiting to be served an active duty Marine in uniform was asking about advice about his 1911. It wasn't cycling the slide back all the way to eject the fired case.
The store clerk was about through with him advising him to go on the net to
the 1911 Forum. I asked the Marine to hang around a minute while they got me my ammo can. At the entrance to the store there's a chair and couch and coffee table. We talked about his 1911 and what ammo he was using. I told him the stock recoil spring is 18 lbs. He was thinking of getting some +P ammo to cycle the slide - I told him if he's going to get resupplied in the field with G.I. Ball 230 gr. stay with the stock spring - Also confirmed he wasn't over lubing the slide and how new the gun was. I also told him the THe High Road also has lots of knowledgeable people on it for
advice to get his 1911 broken in. ALso gave him my phone number becausue the gun shop didn't have any +P .45 ACP but I do have it
on hand if he wanted to try some.
We'll see.
