Springfield Micro Compact Issue

[goalie098]

I recently acquired a Springfield Micro Compact 1911 .45 and have an issue I want ot research before I head to a gunsmith. I was shooting Winchester white box 230 Grain FMJ and sporadically it was discharging the spent shell casing and an unused round. I would say about 1x ever couple of mags. Anyone have any ideas on what may be wrong?

Thanks

Would the next round chamber, or would it jam? (eg: if the spent round is #1, and it also ejects round #2, what would happen with round #3)

Would it always happen at the same place in the mag?

Was it always the same mag, or would it happen with different ones?

No chance in hell I'll have the answer, but thought some clarifying questions might help those that really know stuff

Good luck!

Good advice. The next round chambers and the gun continues to run. Only 1 extra round and I do not remember it happening multiple times on a single mag. Different places but early in the mag and with different mags.

Haven't had an issue like that with my GI version, but I did have to send it back to Springfield because the extractor was rotating about 30 degrees and it was causing it to stovepipe, we shall see how it turns out when I get it back from them.

I would get a few more mags and number them to identify problem mags. You also should try other brands of ammo.

How is the slide ejecting an unfired round when it uses that fired rounds energy to eject that rounds casing? I'm confused. A round will fire, that case will eject along with the next unfired, unchambered round? 2 ejections through the port on 1 trigger pull? Guess I'm not following. How can that be physically possible?

so it sounds like the next round does not chamber but instead gets shucked out the port . Is it by any chance the last round in the mag?

Useally it's early in the mag. 2nd or 3rd round. I'll have run some more rounds through it. i got it used so who know how much wear may be on the springs or the extractor. seems to me whaterver stops the next round coming up the mag doesn't get engage in time.

i dont know. worn extractor? if thats possible? I'm sure some 1911 guys here might have an idea or two. But I'd check for any visible problems with the extractor.

I would contact Springfield. They will probably fix it for free.
