Thanks, now I'm wanting popcorn…
Were any horses actually beaten to death in this thread?
Looks like you need an upsized barrel link there…. But what do I know…. Any slide slop does not necessarily directly impact accuracy. But that barrel not locking up tightly sure as heck will.Life had prevented me from shootin it. Thursday I went to my local indoor range and put 200 rnds of weak (1059 fps) 10mm downrange. Shoots to 7 oclock in the 6 to 8 ring at 15 yrds.
Took it home and cleaned it and thats when I noticed that the barrel has now developed movement.
Heres some vids.

And you're the generation of lead paint and smoking in the car with the windows up. Hmm.This should be easy to understand... but you're a millenial. Go figure.
You should review your own comments before you reply. How did you almost shoot yourself in the leg with the sights to the sky and magwell to the floor?Holding a pistol upright/straight/sights to the sky/magwell to the floor....
...HUH?aka pistol is not being held to the left or right at all, straight. And while holding the pistol perfectly straight it's being aimed at 1/2 a 90 degree angle aka a 45 degree angle.
That isn't what I said at all. I said you experienced a malfunction and apparently had to hold the pistol in such an awkward manner that you were pointing it at or near your own leg (your words). If you have to do this to clear a malfunction, YOU SHOULD REMOVE LIVE AMMO FIRST.Remove the magazine? lmao No pistol should require the removal of the magazine to chamber a round.
Again, please re-read your own comments before replying.Failure to eject? lol No.
Again. Under what circumstances is this likely to happen?I kept the pistol straight to prevent the spent case from landing back in the chamber...
Let me guess... you got all your covid vaccines... lol millenials.... Never said I pointed it at my feet.
That is not what you said originally.There are no holes in my "story". No. I already said what happened... I racked the slide in a safe direction (not at my feet...) and it went off. A weak firing pin spring or an out of spec firing pin is my guess.
I enjoy calling out liars. It's one of my favorite things to do on the internet, especially when they make it so easy by not even hiding their contradictions.One thing I've always been entertained by on the firearms forums is the lengths some folks go to just to criticize one model of a firearm, and then, based solely on a sample of only one out of the thousands that leave a factory. The waste of bandwidth! The wear and tear on keyboards! The hyperbole! The "facts" that really aren't fact. But most of all, the emotion by some and the defensiveness by others. It's better than network television or People magazine.
If I gave up on a particular platform or manufacturer solely based on only one firearm that I had first-hand experience with (not anecdotal from some anonymous internet poster) which had issues (even if it turned out to be a total lemon and unsalvageable, which is not the case normally with 1911s), there's not a major manufacturer out there whose guns I'd ever spend money on again.
Guess there's just a lot of quitters and haters out there.
In the meantime, keep those memes, GIFs and videos coming...
Did you hold it at 45° first? That's pretty importantI just held a Tisas and did not shoot myself with it.
Just to let you all know.

A little hard to see exactly how much but the slide to frame slop looks normal.Life had prevented me from shootin it. Thursday I went to my local indoor range and put 200 rnds of weak (1059 fps) 10mm downrange. Shoots to 7 oclock in the 6 to 8 ring at 15 yrds.

Old saying "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"If I gave up on a particular platform or manufacturer solely based on only one firearm that I had first-hand experience with (not anecdotal from some anonymous internet poster) which had issues (even if it turned out to be a total lemon and unsalvageable, which is not the case normally with 1911s), there's not a major manufacturer out there whose guns I'd ever spend money on again.
45* but with the sights to the sky and magwell to the ground and not pointed left or right, but half of 90* which is 45* so on an angle but flat and straight, but 45*. Duh.Did you hold it at 45° first? That's pretty important
Man, that sure does get the Corn Popp'n!
