well I have a new smith and Wesson 1911 Product: Model SW1911<br>E-Series?, .45 ACP
I took it to the range today to fire it for the second time. the first time was less than 20 rounds. I put almost 100 rounds through it but with every single mag I put through it I had failures to feed. ( when racking the slide it would not pick up the round). and maybe half way through a mag I would get a failure to go into battery. ( it would not go in the last maybe 1/4 inch)
i was using federal balk pack and a few Winchester white box. same result with either ammo. this is my first 1911 so i have no clue what is going on. not sure if its the mags or if its something with the gun. any help would be great.
edit: when putting the mag in i would give it a good slap every time to rule out not getting it seated.
