    It is hard to tell from you description.

    How many failures?

      Im going to say ammo. It may have been just a little under power.

        One FTE does not constitute a problem with any firearm.

        Keep it simple. Ammo? Mags? Lubed correctly? Recent mods?

        If it habitually gags then look to other corrective actions. One at a time.

          Yes, it rotates. Actually I tried another two 1911 (RIA and SA Milspec) and found it rotates in them too.

            Yes, I know I will need to be patient with the issue.

            It happened twice for maybe 150~200 rd in total. Is it possible because of my limp wrist? Long time ago I have some issue with my new g17 but not any more.

              Same ammo and lot or different?

              Also, if you are not sure if you are limp wristing or not, definitely don't spend any time screwing around with the gun.

                That's an issue. You can fix it by fitting an oversized firing pin stop. They cost about $15 from Brownells.
