I'm having the exact problem with my 1911. And I thought it was my loads as well. The gun I have is brand new though and doesn't have but about 200 rounds through it.

tune/replace the extractor and do a clean up on the frame/ramp/slide stop, emery cloth is your best friend, with a decent little set of files.Originally posted by GSXRK5 View PostComment

Anyone know how to do this locally? I'll bring the beer and food if needed or cash lol. I am pretty hands on but I like to see things done first hand and taught how before i go into messing something up myself.Originally posted by Fatass View PostComment

No thats all I'm paying for is shipping there. Seeing as everywhere locally wanted around $50 just to install the ambi safety and the new extractor is $30 best price online, I don't mind covering shipping.Originally posted by 5.0_CJ View PostComment

Seriously though, sorry to hear about your gun. I never knew that a broken extractor could cause such a problem. Have you closed the slide before with a round already in the chamber? I know that isnt good for extractors.Originally posted by lincolnboyComment

Nope never done that in this gun EVER. I really do baby this thing. But who knows, previous owner could have many times and its finally causing a problem.Originally posted by DOHCTR View PostComment

If the shipping isn't much more than $30 than that's a good deal. Ambi safeties on USP's are really not that hard, you just need to pay attention to your disassembly/reassembly closely.Originally posted by bottlerocket View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

And have the required tools such as punches and a vise help lol. I have none. Shipping shouldn't be more than $30, but they require overnight so we'll seeOriginally posted by 5.0_CJ View PostComment

you don't need a vise, you can do it with only a punch set and your bare hands. I will concede however that a USP is one of the more tedious guns to disassemble/reassemble.Originally posted by bottlerocket View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
