Good, it's too easy to under-appreciate a boringly reliable gun..!

Just in case someone else comes
across this thread, the gun was new and a little tight. When I was experimenting with lighter loads for bullseye I could make this happen. Be glad it was tight enough to have issues and not so loose it would cycle anything. As it wears in it should get better, a 1911 was not originally designed to shoot such a light load.
I have the RIA .22TCM/9MM HC. My first pistol had a problem with light strikes and striking off center on the primer. Sent it back, got a brand new pistol in about
3 weeks. The new pistol eats anything I put in it. WWB, ARX Winchester USA Forged, you name it, it shoots it!
It is my main carry weapon.

I am a fan on a new pistol to lube really good and shoot hot factory ammo for at least 300 rounds. My new Rock 45 magically started working flawless at about the 300 round count. I can put anything in it now. If it will have a problem it will be with Win white box. If it runs that good it will probably feed anything.

No need to send back now as it is working fine. One exception though...it absolutely will not even load flat nose bullets. It will not strip them from the magazine. My Sig and Ruger pistols have no problem with this ammo but the RIA 1911 won't have anything to do with it. My .45 cal 1911 doesn't like flat nose ammo either. I'm thinking the 1911 wasn't designed for flat nose bullets. Anyone else have this issue?
The 1911 was developed to shoot the round nosed ball ammo. That was what was specified, or it could be that JMB just found it worked better with the hard ball and advised the Government that was the ammo to use.
Any History Buffs out there know how that came about? Did he build the pistol around that round? Or the other way around?
Interesting Question. It may have been round nosed Lead Bullets way back then, Who Knows?
GOTTA CLEAN EM & KEEP ON SHOOTIN
Well the .45 Auto cartridge was introduced in 1905, and it had a round nose when it did. And the first gun made to fire it (introduced at the same time) was a Colt, designed by JMB.
But we also know that the M1911, as we know it, was being developed from at least that time onwards. So it's not really a 'Chicken Vs Egg' situation, they were both developed together.
