Hey guys. My para 1911 really doesn't like hollowpoints and that's not really anything new. But what is new is this wierd thing that's been happening when I try to chamber a round. Its doing a 3 point jam and locking up so tight I nearly have to get a punch and a mallet to get the round free. And the projectile was pushed so far back into the case the rounds im trying to chamber are now trash. The ammo I was carrying and using was critical defense with the xtp tips. I took some pictures of the jam from the side and the top so you can see the extractor. Any insight or advice would be appreciated. This has not been an issue ever before with these specific rounds and the gun is not in bad shape by any means. It is very clean and i went to chamber a round for carry and this happened out of the blue. I may just carry fmj honestly. It's a .45. Also sorry for the darkness in the picture. I took it in my car and it's midnight right now. I work nights lol.
