How Wet Do ....

[AutoMovt]

You guys perp your 1911 when you go to the range? I hit the range today with my Springfield GI and it shot very well, but I noticed that after about 40 rounds I had a few FTL issues when the magazine was fully loaded.

Now I am a Glock guy for the most part so I don't over CLP my firearms. But does a 1911 require a little more lubing then a light coating? Of course after doing my cleaning the firearm cycled perfectly.

It has been about 18 years since I last had a 1911 model, so any pointer would be helpful.

Thanks!

I don't lube my 1911's any different than my other pistols. Is it a new gun?

I use Lubriplate on the rails and Mobil 1-a trick I got from IPSC shooters-on the rest of the gun.

I use Dri-Slide with no issues. That said, before I switched it depended on the lube. . .

It is used but looks like it had about 100 round fired through it. Of course I recently switch over to Super QCG that I got at the Indy gun show.

What is it exactly doing?

The round would not chamber, but in fact sit high up and hung up on the extractor. I had to carefully free the round from the extractor and the slide ejection port.

I thought so..sounds like to me the extractor needs tuning.

Thanks I will check those links.

If you need any help, email or IM me. I have tuned quite a few extractors.
