I put the first 3 mags of my SWC reloads through the gun just a few minutes ago.

The gun doesn't seem to want to feed them. Dropping the slide lock on a loaded mag feeds perfectly, but the slingshot method won't feed. It's like the round is feeding at too step is an angle and gets bound up. I can drop the mag and lock the slide open and raise the bottom of the jammed round and it will slide right in. I was getting about 2 to 3 FTFs each mag.

I know these reloads cycle fine in all the other 1911s I've had over the years. I'll probably head out to the range tomorrow and put several hundred more through the gun and see if that helps with the break in.
