Hello,
I have a used SR1911 .45 Commander size that I just picked up in a trade, and it's giving me a problem. I have three SR1911 FS that are awesome to shoot, but this commander has a problem where the slide release lever creeps up every 2nd or 3rd shot until it engages and locks the slide back. I have used several different magazines, including Ruger and Wilson combat mags that work on my other 1911s, doesn't make a difference. I'm using factory ammo, no reloads. And I tried several different grip methods to make sure it's not my hand or thumb hitting it and it's not. I know I can send it back to Ruger but if it's as simple as putting in a new slide release lever I'd rather do that as I have other WC springs, guide rod and other parts installed that I'd rather not have to uninstall before shipping it back. This came to me with the upgrades, and a bag full of original parts all mixed together... The slide release lever is original, however.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
