[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 2596494, member: 15253"] I have a 5 inch Rock Island m1911 in the .22 TCM/9mm combo. I've only fired around 50 rds of .22 TCM thru the gun. The last time I shot it in .22 TCM trim, the slide failed to go all the way into battery. I was unable to urge it forward, then I dropped the mag and found that the slide wouldn't move forward or back. I finally placed the nose of the slide against a bench and gave the grip frame a solid whack with the heel of my hand. Something came flying out--maybe two somethings, but my eye was drawn to the larger of the two pieces--which turned out to be the fired case. The other piece may have been the primer, because when I examined the case, the primer was not there. It was very hot that day, and the ammo had been sitting on the bench in direct sunlight for some time (ammo used was factory Armscor 40 grn JHP). Perhaps the heat contributed to the over-pressure issue, but, in any event, I have shot the gun only in 9 mm trim since then. [/QUOTE]
