For a WW2 vintage, i would not send it back to remington. Id much rather send it to a competent 1911 smith.

AOW reported. 10 warning points.

.....because Remington.

No one got hurt..

I am so glad of that..

My thoughts for the wife:

My wife shoots 22lr and 380..

That's where I let her stay..
Seems to work better that way..

Just hung up with Remington. They were ZERO help once they realized it wasn't a warranty issue. I really don't want to ship this thing out.... it's far more valuable to me than it's market worth.

I agree, but whom?....

I don't think Remington's going to honor a warrantee on a pistol that old, and probably made on a wartime contract.

You just need a local gunsmith to look at it, or any of these guys that know 1911s. I'm not that guy.

You're lucky-- if it got loose and kept firing... well, obviously that could go very badly.

This is a risk with ALL self-loaders-- rifles, pistols, shotguns. When trying out a new one, a wise man shoots one, then loads NO MORE than two in the magazine, and runs them a few times before loading up a full magazine.
