I have a Sig 1911 with the Sig 1911 22LR C...Hi Nic,<br />I have a Sig 1911 with the Sig 1911 22LR Conversion Kit installed.<br /><br />I ran 400 Copper Coated High Velocity rds from several different manufacturers without a problem.<br /><br />Yesterday, I purchased 100 CCI Standard Velocity 22LR Lead Nose 40 Grain Target rds. The pistol worked flawlessly for the first 60 rds or so. At that point, the pistol began to fail intermittently by not feeding the next round. The slide would not come far enough to the rear leaving the pistol half-cocked.<br /><br />I suspected that lead fouling in the barrel was slowing the bullet which caused insufficient transfer of momentum to cycle the action. That problem is easy to fix.<br /><br />Since Sig recommends high velocity rds for this setup, I think a lighter spring might be required for the slower bullets.<br /><br />What is the spring force of the factory recoil spring?<br /><br />Do you have a recoil spring kit for the Sig 1911 22LR conversion kit?<br /><br />Any other suggestions to improve the performance of this pistol would be helpful.<br /><br />Thanks in advance,<br />Rich Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
