Got my commander a few weeks ago. I am very happy with except it does not want to feed 200 grain gold dots. They are a handload. Racking the slide will chamber the first one. After that slide will stop about an 1/8" from closing and the gun will lock up tight. Need to drop the mag to clear the action. The first loads were 1.200 oal and the problem was intermittent. All the other loads of differing bullets were in the 1.230 1.235 range. So I tried some of the gold dots at 1.225. Now the problem is a constant.
So I am wondering. If anyone else has had issues with the gold dots? If they have worked for you wondering what oal of your handloads. If your using factory loads wondering what the oal is of those. Was going to set the length at factory length but I cannot find a box of gold dots within 50 miles to measure them. So if someone could provide oal of the factory ammo that would be appreciated as well.Thanks.
