.45 Colt 1911 jams on last bullet only

DB Cooper
I have a Colt 1911 that is at least 40 years old. It works perfectly except for one thing, the last round doesnt fire and jams where it is supposed to be ejected. Could it be the clip ? I was told a worn out spring in the clip might be the culprit. What do you guys think ?

    Hello very likely the mag. most WW ll mags were common ones and unless you have a mint pistol I would not worry about a matching one. Buy a new mag see if it works and if you want to keep orginal body of old mag with your pistol just exchange the GUTS between mags. quote:"PRAISE THE HARDBALL GUN"

    I'd stretch the spring about an inch and try it. A new spring wouldn't be a bad investment.
    There was a DB Cooper who jumped from a jet with a bunch of bucks some years back. Any relation?

    thanks for the advice guys. i am going to buy a new magazine first and if it doesnt solve the problem then i'll look at some other possibilities. and yes, i am the man who jumped out of the airplane in the early 70's with $400,000 in cash. problem is i dropped the money in some damn river or lake and i only made away with about 200 bucks !! j/k. i am not the "real" DB Cooper, he is dead.

    DB..you can check out www.cheaperthandirt.com online. They offer several different 1911 mags...prices start at $6.00 and go up. For my money, the Wilson's are the best. Just my 2 cents worth.
