The 1911 .45 cal. has been around for 100 years and needs some changes to be made for it to use anything other than "Ball" ammunition... I have no idea what model you purchased and what type projectiles you are shooting..Ball or Hollow Point..? The ejection port needs opened and the Barrel throat needs opened for Hollow Point ammunition.. The Russian ammo may not be up to normal pressures and that could have caused the Stove-Pipe. I have an American made AMT that I like very much (Stainless) that is reasonably priced.. A couple more..a Government 1911 and a Gold Cup.. Each, I use with different ammo.. The original test-firing was something like 13,000 rounds with NO malfunctions...but that was not a Springfield, it was a Colt.. I would place the AMT in there with any Colt.. You need to KNOW the 1911 and what it likes.. You need to use a Main Spring of the correct tension, to match the ammo you are using.. Target Loads or Full Loads..?? I prefer full-length guide-rods along with a rubber bushing... You can get yourself an RCBS (Rock-Chucker) Loader and re-load your ammo far cheaper than you can buy it....use lead bullets, they are cheaper than the Jacketed bullets, especially at Gun Shows..just load them for under 950 FPS.. The 1911 is always a challenge...it is probably the hardest pistol to SHOOT WELL.. it IS accurate but it takes much shooting to shoot one "Well"... With light loads and a Bushing, the spent casings will fall about 4 ft to the right of the gun.. For just a self-defense weapon, I would choose a 3" .410 Pistol.

In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
