After obtaining a Tisas 1911 .45 (black finish “Duty”). I decided to get a 9mm and elected to get the OD green M1911-A2 U.S. GI version.
I’m disappointed!
The .45 came with 2-magazines and has functioned flawlessly. It readily feeds my cast Lee 200gr SWC and is near match accurate.
The 9mm JAMS!
First, it has a full ramped barrel! Great I thought! Only 1-mag? Hmmm.
First round, furnished magazine, 124gr RMR Match Winner FMJ.
Drop the slide, only goes halfway, bullet tip caught at bottom of barrel ramp! Not good!
Tried different load, only 6 in magazine. 120gr Lee TC. Feeds. Fires ok. Load 9- jams just like the RMR.
Does the same thing with 115 and 124gr RMR MPR.
Mind you these loads feed fine through EVERY OTHER 9 I have or previously owned.
Tried some other magazines. Metal Form, Meggar, Wilson, S&W.
Tried seating the RMR MW deeper at 1.030” instead of 1.075”. Helped, but won’t feed wit more than 6rds in magazine, Just “catches” halfway up the ramp.
Suggestions?
