Update 06/04 at the bottom
-----------------------------------
Had a great meetup last night and a great deal on a seriously new Rock Island compact 1911 in 9mm.
I badly wanted this gun and the seller is a great guy (even threw in free ammo that wasn't called for).
Really a great seller.
Took the pistol to the range today and it FTE'd on the 3rd round (not the 2nd which is significant).
Notice anything missing in the pic?
Ejector broke off after the 2nd round
They say that a new Harley isn't really yours until you've fixed or replaced something, you think it works the same for pistols
I've submitted an issue on the Armscor web site and from what I've heard they're really good about this kind of thing.
The nice thing is I'm sure I am going to really like this pistol when I get it running right.
Great deal and many thanks to the seller (MikeD), he's a good guy however this works out.
Update: 06/04
So I get the pistol back after approximately 4 weeks (as originally promised).
So excited to try this out.
But when I opened the slide I saw this:
Side shot with the slide off
Comparison to my Kimber (also compact 9mm 1911):
I talked to tech support and the guy (nice guy by the way) agreed that it just doesn't look right. He will be showing the pictures to the gunsmiths on Monday and will let me know the verdict.
Darn I would really like to shoot this thing, particularly now that I have the Kimber to shoot it against
