I don't know what the deal was either...but he said he would ship them on Wednesday and I got them on Friday. I was very disappointed in the packaging....they were loose, no bubble wrap or any cushioning wrap, inside a very thin bubble envelope. I never ship any grips I sell that way...but they...

Well, the grips are supposed to be shipped this coming Wednesday. He said he's been sick and in and out of the hospital. I post pictures of them when I get them.

OK, that was what I wasn't getting. I thought you were saying that the 2nd round chambered correctly but wouldn't fire. I didn't understand how a chambered round wouldn't fire if the magazine wasn't locked in, on a pistol without a mag disconnect safety. It makes sense that if the round didn't...

Well, I'm still not understanding this...if the round chambered, why wouldn't it fire, even if the mag wasn't completely seated? There is no mag disconnect. The only thing I can think of is that the slide wasn't completely in battery either. In any case, I'm glad you found a solution for the...

I guess I don't understand...if the round would chamber from the mag, why wouldn't it fire? The SR1911 doesn't have a mag disconnect safety. I mean, I could see the round not chambering correctly if the mag wasn't seated correctly, but once it was chambered, it should have fired...right? I...

If I'm reading your answers correctly, it does sound like it's the gun. You mentioned racking the slide several times before you reinsert the magazine, and then it will fire. I'm no expert or gun smith by a long shot, but it sounds like the firing pin isn't contacting the primer as it should. I...

If it loads but won't fire, that's a very strange issue. If it won't chamber, is the round hanging up on the feed ramp? Can you give more detail about what exactly is happening?

You said this happens no matter what mags you are using...what mags (brands) have you tried? How new are the mags? I usually load any new mags to capacity and let them sit for a couple of weeks before I begin using them. When you top off the mag after chambering the first round, are you...

I could barely work Photobucket, and then they went all greedy, so I switched to Imgur. I think I've finally got it down, and hopefully I'll be posting pictures of my new grips next week!

Did you get yours as scheduled? Do you like them?

I still don't have my grips. I sent him an email asking for an update, and he replied saying he'd been sick, and he'd try to get them out in another week. I'm about ready to just tell him to refund my money, but that's a good price ($100) if his product is actually good, so I guess I should be...

I just asked him for a status update...he said it'd be about another week or so.

No...in fact, when I ordered them, he said mine would take 3 - 4 weeks to deliver. I guess mine weren't in stock, and had to be made. It's been a couple of weeks now, although it seems like a couple of months!

Well, I've always thought that when looking at $300 grips...not that they are too nice for YOU, but too nice for me! :lol: Especially on a $600 gun. However, at $100, it's hard to pass them up...especially when my SR1911 is a keeper. I spend more than that on miscellaneous cr...er, stuff...

SOLD to Pistolero.
