I took my Desert Eagle 1911 to the range this morning. On the third or fourth magazine insertion, the slide stopped and would not move forward. When I looked into the breach, the first round went straight into the feed ramp and stopped. I could not eject the magazine until I used a screwdriver to dislodge the cartridge. I used my other factory magazine and fired 8 more rounds without incident. The magazine in question goes in tighter than the other one (both are factory magazines). I have a Mec-Gar magazine that goes into the firearm much smoother than the factory magazines, as well as a stainless/nickel ACT-MAG that goes in super smooth. I just ordered 3 more Mec-Gar stainless magazines for this pistol.
So, I am wondering if anyone has run into this issue with a Desert Eagle 1911. If so, did using different magazine correct the problem, or did you have to take other steps?? This 1911 is super smooth on the slide action - my only issue with it is the trigger sometimes giving me a double tap without a second pull (not very often). If anyone has any ideas on this one, your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
