Okay, I know it's a cheap 1911 but when I bought this thing I had read reviews and the vast majority had nice things to say about the gun. Some even liked them better than the Rock Islands.
Anyway, it's a 5" Military (their model name) and I had it at the range for the first time yesterday. I was shooting WWB 230 gr FMJ and used the ACT magazine that it came with and a Wilson Combat mag also, both eight rounders. The gun had FTF with both mags. Sometimes it was the first round, sometimes it was later in the mag. Out of 50 rounds, probably better than 1/3 of them had a FTF. I even tried loading seven rounds instead of eight to see if that made any difference. It didn't.
Some rounds looked like they nosed down and jammed and then some were partially chambered without going into battery.
I bought this gun with intentions of tweaking on it some down the road as I could afford it but was hoping to at least shoot it a bit first. So much for that.
So, any directions that I should look first?
