i have a RIA 1911 in 9mm which i really like. this is my first 1911 and assumed that it would not feed hollow points and it doesn't. but are there any tips/mods to make this possible?
thanks

i think i will try dremel felt pads & IOSSO paste, would that work? and i sorry, what part(barrel shroud)?I'm thinking a bit of polishing time on the bbl shroud. If that terminology is wrong, then the part at 12 o'clock where bullet nose is directed into the chamber.
Break in is important. Really. A couple hundred rounds are needed. Don’t waste a ton of time polishing until then.i think i will try dremel felt pads & IOSSO paste, would that work? and i sorry, what part(barrel shroud)?
I believe they are referring to the hood...that part of the rear of the barrel that protrudes to the rear at the top. If the magazine lips are releasing the rounds too soon they tend to tip upwards and contact the shroud. A good polishing can help the nose slide across this area better, but it is a bandaid rather than a cure. Try different magazine manufacturers. Wilson magazines work perfectly in all of mine but I only shoot .45 ACP. 9mm may feed differently. Mag lip tweaking can help, but can also result in an unusable magazine if done wrong. And yes, thorough break in is essential for reliability.i think i will try dremel felt pads & IOSSO paste, would that work? and i sorry, what part(barrel shroud)?
