HoMiE Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Sounds like primer pocket is too loose, time to get some newer brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Its not the ammo. My brother bought a 1927 Sistema (1911 built on Colt machinery). The lugs cut into the slide were so worn that the primers blew out. Had a Kart barrel fitted by a good gunsmith up in MD (this was around 1999). Same problem kept happening. Time for a new slide. But have him take it to a local smith to check it first just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos it could be.It's an old gun with lots of rounds run through it.Thanks and I'll have it checked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wide45 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 step 1 Eliminate the possibility of bad ammo. Try it with factory rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
