Not quite necro-thread, but I'm late to the party...Doing a range trip this week to celebrate, taking the whole family out:Armalite AR-10PSA AR-15Springfield GarandYugo 59/66'52 Tula SKS'54 Izhevsk SKSPolish M44Russian PRISTINE M44Finnish M39Colt 1911 (My daily carry)TT-33Nagant revolverThat's my small collection, which is gonna seem much larger hauling it all out to the range at once lol.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
Looks like you've expanded. Glad to see you around <S>.
I shoot a Sig Sauer 1911, DPMS AR15, and a KSG. Or I was shooting them until they were lost in a very tragic boating accident.
I just bought a Sig Spartan 1911. It shoots just as well as my Springfield 1911. Smooth trigger, accurate, and just feels wonderful. I highly recommend one.
I've never really deer hunted in the sense of go out at 4:00 am and sit there freezing my bellybutton off waiting for a deer to walk up to my feeder so I can take a well aimed shot from a distance, and then drag the thing all the way back to the camp. The way I was taught was to drive around with the heater on and the guns out the window. The idea is basically to drive up on the deer and quick draw the sucker while he is still standing there deciding to run or not, then load the dead deer in the back of the truck and be home in time for lunch. When you hunt like this, all you need is an open sight 30-30
i just bought a springfield 1911. base, nuthin fancy. i friggin love it. almost as much as my remington.
I have the same problem with my Springfield 1911 from time to time as well. The problem is not so much the recoil, but the fact that if you let it jump too much, the round will not eject all the way and get stuck when the slide tries to close. Whereas if I hold it too tight, I can't hit the broad side of a barn from the inside. I just have to grip it with just the right ammount of force to keep it from recoiling too much, and not too much to kill my accuracy.
The problem you may be experiencing with rounds not ejecting can be caused from not keeping your wrist and elbows locked and thus, not taking the recoil into your shoulders. By allowing your wrist and elbows to "break" during the recoil, you may not be providing enough resistance to the recoil to allow the slide to fully cycle, which can cause the malfunction you describe.
