I took my new SA 1911 to the range today for the first time.After the first couple of magazines I finaly got a feel for the gun and wasn't doing half bad,and surprisingly I had an easier time staying on target than I have with my 9mm BHP MK III.The recoil was more of a push rather than a snap that I'm used to with the 9mm.Way easier to control.
I was shooting Speers Lawman 230 gr.When I got to the second box I started getting stovepipes on the last round.I went through half the box like this and finaly just started loading six rounds at a time,no stovepipes that way.My last fifty rounds were Federal 230 gr.,this time no stovepiping and it seemed to be a bit more accurate.
Is this common thing to happen when breaking in a new 1911,or was it the ammo,or a combination of both?Or maybe me?
