Thats not an empty in the chamber. It fired a round, brought a new one up when it extracted the spent casing and chambered it. Then the slide stayed locked back and that second round was just rolling around in there. Also, this is the wife's gun which has had no issues. It is my mag in it.
that would be my guess from the second picture but from the first I don’t see how the round could go as far as it is towards the chamber as it is with a spent casing stuck in it??
You are using the factory mags I presume since SA is sending you a new one? Do you have any other mags you can try? When you load them they are fully seated in the mag?
It happens on the first round, and then intermittently. When I load the magazine, the slide is forward. After the mag is loaded, I operate the slide by hand.
In the first picture (wood grips), there inst a round in the chamber. The round got stuck like that. In the second picture (custom grips), there is a round in the chamber.
Ok, are you riding the slide by chance or letting it “slingshot” I have had several buddies ride the slide and have the rounds jam up similar to what you have going on. Not necessarily saying this is the issue. Once loaded grab the slide pull it fully rearward and let it sling foward. I’m sure you already know this right now from the pictures it’s all that is coming to my mind. Maybe someone else will jump in. Also if you have any other mags defiantly try em out.
Honestly, I am not sure Part of me wants to say the I let it go. Part of me wants to say I hold onto it.
Left handed shooter, left thumb sits on top of safety, right thumb rests on slide stop, just below the slide I guess it is very possible that my right thumb is sliding up and hitting the slide. But wouldn't I feel that happening, like a sore thumb?
Ok, that was pretty damn funny!!
Not really, I used to have that habit of a high hold on a 1911, anyway Springfield is sending you a new magazine, hope you get it figured out.
Yeah, I wasnt doing it that way. I was holding onto the slide as it was coming forward. This is why I became a member of this forum. Thanks for the help!!
That makes sense. I have also recently discovered that I was holding onto the slide when I chambered a round. So maybe that is part of the problem. Thank you for the help!!

Yes, factory mags. No other mags to try at this time. I used that mag in my wife's gun and it did the same thing.
I bought this gun because of the quality. I did a lot of research on the interwebs and this issue seemed to be related to the mag. I had also read that sometimes a lot of rounds needed to ran through the gun. My wife has the same gun and has not experienced a single problem. So maybe I got a fluke also? Did SA tell you what the issue was with yours after you sent it back? SA was awesome and didn't even hesitate in sending a new mag.
