just went by academy and picked up a new 1911 that ive been wanting for about 2 years.

first impressions, very nice though the lettering on the slide dosent stand out very well. way too much oil in the packing and i had to take down the pistol and give it a good cleaning.

one problem, maybe ya'll could help, is that sometimes the slide does not lock back on an empty mag. when this happens the slide gets hard to move and the mag will not eject. if i slap the mag again it frees everything up.

ive heard that the taurus mags arent the best, would this be a mag problem or do i need to take the pistol down again and try to find some of the original packing grease that i missed?

also already gotten one "why'd you get a taurus, they suck" comment. (not bad for one day)

seems to be the same reaction i used to get when i was playing paintball. people get upset when they see a tool perform just or almost as good as theirs at half the price.

the more i play with the pistol the less often the slide problem occurs. just a new thing or did i bend something the right way while constantly racking the slide with a sht eating grin on my face?
