I had been having problems with my SA 1911. It wouldn't go into battery sometimes, and the thumb saftey was extremely hard to disengage.
I sent the gun off to SA last Friday. and Fed Ex just brough it by my house. That has got to be a recodrd for fastest warranty repair I have seen.
The work order says
1911-A1 Plunger Tube, H.C.
Tuned Thumb Saftey. Refit Barrel
Tested
I was pleased to find that they either polished my slide or replaced it all together.
I had a ugly "idiot mark" on the slide from my first attempt at field stripping it. Well it's gone and it looks like a brand spanking new gun.
I hope all is well. I love the gun and she was my first
1911 That is..
I'll update after shooting this afternoon.
The Taurus Gets Jealous and insist on being in any 1911 Themed pictures.
UPDATE
I took it out today and it was still doing the exact same thing. 1/2 the time when you would go to chamber the first round of the magazine it would not fully go into battery.
I think that a stronger recoil spring would force the slide into battery. I guess that is going to be my next course of action.
