    I don't know if it is relevant, it's only just an observation with my Springfield GI 1911 before I tuned the extractor.
    That's funny! Murphy's Law applied to saving your brass...
    I voted against Obama before it was cool.

    I beg to differ. The full length dust cover rail makes a world of difference in the "when I run out of bullets I'm going to beat you to death with the pistol" look that causes bad guys to run in fear, and lesser men to feel inadequate. It looks just plain beastly and the extra heft up front does help manage recoil a bit better. Plus, an angel told me that when God called JMB to heaven it was to build him a full rail 1911!

        The cut you see at the rear of the ejection port on many 1911's is there for this very reason. It's probably worth it to send your gun to someone and have it modified.

        Does your port look like this...


        A pistol modified in that way will be much easier on brass.
