First of all let me fore warn you all that I am posting this off my cell phone. So it may be a bear to read.
So I have a pending trade offer on my xds. A guy wants to trade me his springfield micro 1911. His gun is in great condition and I love the idea of a trade.
Here's the issue. He told me "when he manually works the slide and there is a round in the chamber the extractor pulls the round back, but doesn't throw the shell out of the chamber.
I did the same action with my xds and it doesn't either.
He said he has never shot the gun before so he doesn't know if this is a issue or not. Neither do I.
He lives out towards Louisville and no where near a gun range for me to test the gun before we deal. So INGO I ask you.
Is this normal behavior for a 1911 and would you complete the trade?
