New Ronin 10mm lock back

Just a question, are you sure your thumb didn’t hit the slide stop during recoil, this is very common on 1911’s, happens to the best of us

i replaced ALL my 1911's mag release spring with a lighter weight springs with either an Ed Brown, or Wolff springs.

those mag release buttons were a bear to push with my old fingers,

as a result, i will often place my left thumb "near" the mag release button (for a better grip) and accidently eject a magazine.

so yes as in touching mag release button, one can just as easily hit the slide lock as well.

its actually been a while now since i ejected a magazine, now watch, next week, i'll be dropping mags like flies.

damned 1911's......maybe i ought to trade them all in for Hi-Points, and go see a Buick dealer..???
 
Thanks for all the helpful comments.
My Ronin has not experienced premature lock back since I took the Dremel to the bottom of the slide stop lug, and brass filings from the ammunition case and lug contact have disappeared from inside the magazine well, that tells me there is no longer contact between the slide stop lug and ammunition cases.
It was not my thumb hitting the slide stop because I'm a left handed shooter.
Not the magazines nor ammunition because during premature lock backs I would rotate the magazines and use different ammunition and that did not have an effect on premature lock backs.
Since the Ronin comes with just one magazine, I purchased OEM magazine. Now when I shoot that beast regardless of what magazine is in, no more premature lock backs in over 150 rounds.
Not even remotely concerned about voiding the warranty. The Dremel work I did was minimal and would not be noticed. Please don't picture in your mind of sparks flying off of my slide stop and a big ugly spot where metal was removed. Nothing like that at all. I was sure to remove minimum amount of material.
Another quality job well done.

Not to worry. I won't tell. ;) Nice job. Sounds like a minor manufacturing defect that was an easy fix. :)


Thank you for your indulgence,

My new Ronin would lock back every other clip. During troubleshooting I discovered brass case filings inside the mag well, specifically on the bottom of the slide stop lug. Put a couple rounds in the magazine and with the slide locked back I could see where rounds were making contact with the bottom of the slide stop lug. Removed the slide stop and observed exactly where the rounds were making contact, shiny spot. Got my Dremel out and carefully removed just enough material to where rounds were no longer making contact with the slide stop lug. It took maybe five tries. After the Dremel work, have not had a single lock back in about 150 rounds. Ammunition used; AAC. Excellent ammo by the way.
Another quality job well done. Damn I love this pistol.
