If its an all factory colt and you are having feeding issues then swapping out to a Kart ramped barrel may be your solution. Ramped vs Unramped is up there with the caliber debates but personally I dont see why anyone is manufacturing a 1911 with an unramped 9mm barrel these days.

Started with some WWB then finished with the HST. 100% run with the HST, even from the Colt mag. I had told The 1911 Whisperer what was happening with Gold Dots, and he said if I wanted factory stuff go compare all of it I could find and try the stuff that was “longest from stem to stern.” I’ll be gd if it didn’t work. No need to polish anything or pay him any money to get it running.
Un-freekin real.

My god, man! But you cut me to the quick! I am a right-leaning Libertarian!
GOOD DAY, sir!
(No, not a lefty, I just have poor trigger discipline

Round count when I tried the HST was 1000+ of WWB, Underwood and Speer Gold Dots, American Gunner, Critical Duty and Defense, Winchester Defender, I tried it all. I wasn’t going to have it milled or anything, and I was actually getting ready to give up and just make it a range gun.
Might do some more experimenting later, but now I’m just happy I found a winning combo. Going back out today to run a couple more boxes of HST to proof it, then I’ll add this one to my rotation.
After all, it’ll then be “just as reliable as my Glock.”
She’s a beaut, Clark! She’s a beaut!
I can’t remember which run this picture is, it don’t matter it’s operating perfectly.

I put two boxes of Speer Gold Dots and two boxes of Hornady XTP through the gun today with zero malfunctions. It would seem I was just too impatient. In recognition of that, let me just put up one last pic before I go…
