[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4127189, member: 15054"] I did have one of those. Bought a Datsun Z car from Arrow Wrecker at one of their impound auctions. I strip the interiors of cars from auctions. Found one of those rusted to the carpet under the driver seat. I cleaned up all the rust and made the slide finally move and oiled it up and by golly it fired ammo when i pulled the trigger every time. Can't say that for my Taurus PT 1911. Jam O Matic. I fixed it though. Seems Browning added a Chamfer on the top of the chamber in the barrel called the Top Hat area. My Taurus did not have a chamfer there. The edge of the 45acp case would catch it there even with a little crimp. I refused to add a lot of crimp as I shoot soft cast lead and that just messes up accuracy. I despise the 1911 and how it will set a bullet back into the case when it is chambered. Heck of an angle for that bullet to turn to get into the chamber. my Hipoints do not have that steep angle issue and my ammo stays the same OAL after chambering. Is anyone going to fix that 1911 issue or do manufacturers just like to copy cat every one. Seems making ammo for the 1911 you can toss OAL out the window as it is not going to stay where you set it. At least for my testing and my cast loads. [/QUOTE]
