I am trying to work through a cycling issue. I have a new (purchased in the fall) Ed Brown 9mm 5" 1911. I understand the 9mm 1911's can be finicky and it could be the gun, or the springs or the ammo, and I am trying to work through it because this gun is a blast to shoot and groups like crazy. I had some ejection issues where the rounds were hitting me in the face and occasional stove pipe. I sent it to Brown and they recognized it needed to be fine tuned in the extractor and ejector. They ran it quite a bit and said it was fine. Got it back and it was much better, ejected 3 to 5 feet out the side.
I compete in IDPA with a Brown Kobra in 45, so I wanted a 9mm for IDPA, so this is my IDPA gun as well.
I still get an occasional stove pipe. It doesn't happen very often, maybe one in 100 shots. I also get an odd occurrence where the brass gets crunched. When the crunched brass happens, it ejects, but it falls at my feet and is crunched. Typically the bass ejects 3 to 6 feet to the side. Now, when I start shooting it runs fine for the first 30 or so rounds, so maybe its my oil?? Currently using FP10 shooters choice. So, I know 9mm 1911's need to be fine tuned. I am using my hand loads of 124 gr Bayou RN lead coated bullets on 4.3 gr of Bullseye which Chrono's at 1120ish fps. So its not a really light load, but it is a little softer than factory. I am using a factory standard 10# recoil spring. I tried some new loads using HS6 and it was snappier, and the 20 rounds I tested cycled fine.
So do I try a 9# recoil spring? Or load up stronger load, but that defeats my purpose for IDPA. Whats causing the crunched brass? Thanks!!
