I recently picked up a Rock Island Armory 1911, product link here:
https://us.armscor.com/products/1911-midsize-gi
Anyway, I noticed that when the slide is locked to the rear, and the magazine is in the well, the slide release becomes extremely difficult to send the slide forward, so difficult that you cannot use your thumb to do it. However, when the magazine well is empty, the slide release is easy to operate using the side of the thumb.
Is this normal, and if not, how do I mitigate/solve this problem? Is this a warranty issue that I need to take up with RIA?
