I'm at a little over 1000rds. into my Wilson Combat 9mm commander 1911. I have run PMC 115gr., Federal AE 115gr., Federal AE 124gr., UMC 115gr. And Winchester 124gr. NATO ball. Out of four range sessions I
Have had 3 failures to go into full battery. All 3 have required a light slide tap to seat the round and all is well. All 3 have been while shooting the Winchester NATO 124gr. All other brands and weights have been flawless.
All mags are Wilson 9mm ETM 10rd and are new with gun.
So I am ruling out a magazine issue due to it happening with different mags and intervals during range sessions. Once from loading top round from slide lock on previous session prior to today. Happened twice today during feeding both required slide tap. Continued rest of session today shooting an additional 200rds. Of UMC and Federal AE 124gr. without issue.
Anyone else had issues similar to this? I'm currently at the conclusion that it was possibly some out of spec. rounds. So I'm thinking continue on and chalk it up to bad ammo. I would really appreciate anyone else's input. I want to start carrying this as my EDC but am somewhat leery due to the FTF issues with Winchester. Oh yeah.. I'm also "that guy" when it comes to getting the proverbial lemon when it comes to firearms. It seems that I have a black cloud that follows me every time I purchase a weapon. Thanks in advance for your insight.
