Just came back from the range and my SA Loaded 1911 had a few feeding problems. The gun has about 1000 rounds throught it and this is the first time its jammed this many times in an outing. It jammed about 4-5 times with 150 rounds. The jams were all double feeds. I really dont think the ammo was the issue (Winchester and Blazer FMJ's) and I wasnt using new mags either. Any advice on what the issue could be?

Check the ejector/spring?While we're here arguing about the latest high tech running shoes, there's some Kenyan out there running barefoot. Guess who's gonna win the marathon? -
Double feeds...as in two loaded cartridges at the same time? or a "failure to extract" or a "failure to eject" of the fired case prior to feeding the next loaded cartridge?Comment

one round in the chamber and one right behind it, half way out of the mag and in the gun...if that makes any sense.Comment

My GI just had a FTF problem after about 1000+ rounds.
I striped, cleaned and oiled/greased everything, replaced the factory 16 lb recoil spring with a Wolff 16.5 lb. spring and now once again, both factory and my reloaded ammo function fine.
Springs are cheap, so a easy place to start when troubleshooting, IMHOsigpic

I think it very generous of JRJCP to offer to look at your problem...take him up on it.

SHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Don't tell the anti's that your gun feeds two bullets at once...they'll all panic!!!
I'm going with extractor issue, but without seeing the gun, that's the best i got...sigpic
Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

Ditto GW on the gunked up or faulty extractor. I'd also check the mag, cracks on the back that allow the lips to flex outward.Comment
