The gun shoots well and is easy to control, although the trigger pull is very long compared to the 1911s that I’m used to. One problem though – on almost every magazine with the Lawmans, it is failing to chamber the last round in the magazine. Each time, the round is wedged nose up in the chamber, then drops free easily when I rack the slide. The malfunction occurs with both factory magazines, and the weapon is clean and well-lubed. There have been no other malfunctions, and this does not occur with the Rangers.
I am stumped. Any ideas what might be going on?  |
At first I hated the LEM trigger on my P2000. Finally it was through one of the QP's during a weekend training seminar that he explained how to overcome the pull length of the LEM trigger.
It's fairly obvious, but takes some practice. Only allow the trigger out to it's reset point, then follow through with the secondary and subsequent shots. It does take practice, however you'll find that the reset is incredibly short and with practice you'll not have to allow the trigger to it's full stopping point before follow through is exercised.
As for the failures, I haven't a clue. TS and TR are more versed and have given great advice. If it eats and spits the Ranger SXT's, then just stick with what works. Personally I tend to think that sub compact models of any handgun are somewhat of a design flaw in and of its self (I hope that makes sense). Again, I'm no expert, but I've seen more than my fair share of 3" barrel 1911's that wont feed or extract most of the time without a couple of trips to the custom shop or a qualified gunsmith. I just dont believe John Moses Browning ever intended the 1911 to be any shoter in barrel length than 5" without a bushing.
