Bullet feeding issues with the 1911.

My Kimber Aegis Elite Custom feeds hollow points just fine. I've tested Remmington Golden Sabre and Federal HST.

 

Yes.

 

My Para ( yes, strike one already) won’t feed JHP but eats flat nose and ball rounds easily enough. It has a ramped match barrel but the JHPs hang up on stripping from the mag...I just avoid them altogether now...

My '78 Combat Commander only works with Ball and Golden Sabers, unmodified factory barrel
The Colt's Wiley Clapp Government feeds Ball, Gold Dots, Golden Sabers, HST's, Ranger T's etc
My Baer TRS and Stinger eat everything on their plates

 

I shoot and load SWC , RNFP , JHP . No problems . Factory Winchester JHP functions 100 % also . I shoot all these out of Wilsons , Sigs , and Kimbers .

 

The new Colt throating is good to go

 

All the Baers, Wilsons, GIs, DWs, and Nighthawks that I own will eat HST, Gold Dots, Underwood and SXTs as well as any FMJs I have ever used.

 

No, not JSWs, they look like round nose ball ammo but with the round nose smooshed flat...fully jacketed though

I have had no issues with hollow points in any of my 1911s including a Colt but my only Colt is a newer 9mm competition.

All the others eat anything and everything. Also I like to buy the 100 round boxes of Remington HP that Walmart sells to test with. They run really well

 

My Wilson 5" guns...in both 9mm and .45acp...have fed every JHP or non- round nose loads I have ever tried -- commercial defensive ammo, etc....

While I have fired most of the name brands of defensive ammo ...I carry Golden Sabre in both 9mm & .45acp ....

I have had 1911's from Ed Brown , Kimber, Colt, Springfield, and Les Baer....the only one that was fussy on ammo was the Les Baer...

 

A Colt XSE Commander I had shot Federal Hydra Shok and HST without issue as does my Special Combat Government which I shall not part with on this side of the grave.

 

Sounds like your pistol needs a bit of barrel work.
Personally, I have no use for a pistol that won’t reliably feed hollow points.
I would like to have the ability to carry any pistol I own, and I won’t carry a pistol using ball ammunition.

 

With the breach in full open position and the barrel in lock down resting on top of the feed ramp. Make sure the bottom edge of the barrel is forward of the frame feed ramp by no less than .003 inch and there are no burrs or hard edges for a bullet to hang up on. For positive feeding of HPs I use no less than 18 lb recoil springs in .45 acp or 38 super.
