1911 Colt in 9 mm

AGE · 06-03-2003, 01:21 AM

I shot the 9 mm 1911 again today. The early slide lock problem seems to be cured by the depression on the end of the slide stop.

However, the extraction problem is still with me. I had four FTEs in about 60 Winchester rounds and 10 PMC rounds (including the first shot with PMC). This time I retrieved all four offending cases. The case rims were hardly even nicked by the extractor--more like scratches. I already ordered a Wilson heavy duty extractor. We'll see if that solves the problem and if not, at least I'll have a spare to experiment with.

Afterward I shot my 1936 Luger some more and my .45 Colt SAA. Great fun and they worked perfectly, boosting my confidence in good guns.
