Having a strange issue with my WC CQB LE in 9. The empty case will extract and eject, but then there are two live rounds attempting to chamber at the same time. One loose sitting on top of the next live round in the mag.

Factory Ammo, both HST and Federal ball Ammo. New WC mags. Lubed and cleaned.

Any ideas?

Check the extractor claw to see if it is not getting a good grip on the shell.

The empty has been extracted and ejected. Those are both live rounds.

I believe he is suggesting that the extractor is not grabbing the new round from the mag while it is cycling it to the chamber

 

[Austin Millbarge]

Ah. Gotcha.

I’ll look.

Thanks Collector, you are correct.

Classic Double feed issue. Happens like this.
As the pistol recoiled the top round in the magazine pops out of the feed lips, it then resists the backward motion of the slide, as the pistol essentially came out from under it. Now that the round is free of the magazine it found its way partially into the chamber. Then the slide came forward and stripped the next round in the mag and tried to stuff it into the partially occupied chamber and the jam occured.

This type of failure is often caused by single magazine, ie. spring tension, poorly formed feed lips, follower, or any combination of the three.

Number your mags and try to trace the issue to a single magazine.

If that fails to fix the issue look at changing your RC spring to try and change
the speed of the slide.

I suspect if you try using a Tripp magazine your issue will disappear.

Brand new mags. But I’ll try different mags.

All good advice above.

How many rounds on that recoil spring? If you don’t know the round count, this would be the first thing I would replace.

 

[Austin Millbarge]

Brand new gun.

Ouch. Send it back to Wilson, these are too expensive to start tweaking from the start.

 

[Dwe]

Brand new gun.

What He said!^^^^
Call the Wilson Combat rep.

 

[Austin Millbarge]

I probably will. Just hoping for an easy fix.

 

[Capthobo]

Call Wilson and set up the return. Provide the same photos of the jam and request that at least 100 rds of the Ammo you shoot to be proven good as well as others too.

 

[Dwe]

I probably will. Just hoping for an easy fix.

Try Tripp Cobra mags.
If there is no change and you don’t like the mags I’ll buy them from you.

Best advice I’ve seen today.

Are you lubing the mags? Factory Ammo, both HST and Federal ball Ammo. New WC mags. Lubed and cleaned.

 

[HooDoo Man]

OMG

I like Tripp mags, but this gun should work with mags that came with the gun. I would be on the phone with WC, pretty sure they will get you fixed up.

No. I’ve been around 1911’s for 20 years. Just not 9mm 1911’s.
