I actually tried it both ways and it worked. I'm guessing that the problem was solved when I just ran a cotton gun patch over the ramp. Must have been something on it or something like that. Just to stay on the safe side from now on, though, I think I'll stick with the round this thing was...
After putting it back together and trying to chamber one of the rounds, it's working fine with both mags. I don't even know what I did but I apparently fixed the problem.
I'm sitting here with the slide off and the ramp looks and feels as though it has already been polished. I'm guessing my gun just doesn't like that brand of HPs.
I figured it wasn't any good. Kinda sucks, too. I paid good money for that ammo.
And I'm not riding the slide. I'm letting it snap forward like it was designed to. I guess my gun just doesn't like HP rounds. And if it doesn't, I guess that's all right. .45 ACP is big enough to not need...

I was at the range with my "new" RIA 1911. I figured I'd see how it loads hollow points, because it has already been broken in by a previous owner. It wouldn't load the first round but every round after was always fine. I looked at the round I had to keep ejecting and, well, you'll see what...
Yeah, it's 8 shots. It's a neat little gun. I'm just trying to see if it's worth anything so that she can sell or trade it for a new .22 mag carry gun.
I'm down in Florida right now, helping out my dear old Granny with a tree that fell on her property last Saturday. Earlier today she showed me an old target revolver my Grandpa had before he got the message to head upstairs. It's an nickel plated Arminius .22 mag revolver with about a 5 inch...
