As some of you may know I recently finished building an officer's size 1911. Everything works flawlessly except for one thing...I am not able to eject a live round. Ten out of ten times the round will get lodged in the eject port in such a way that they only thing I can do it to remove the mag and push the round down and out through the grip. I know that it is the ejector that is causing the problem. It is funny how I just noticed the problem but none of the snap caps I tested with had this issue. It turns out that the snap caps are quite a bit shorter than my live .45 rounds. Go figure.
Anyhow, I am going to shorten the ejector pin a bit but would like to know whether there that could cause any side effects.
