The fact that it will not hand-cycle does not mean much. Take it to the range and put some FMJ rounds through it. See if you can find (buy or borrow) a "known good" magazine.
So is a 1911 mag a 1911 mag?

It has two and one loads much easier than the other. But the round still stumbles with either mag.

Does it fail to feed, or fail to eject?

A twenty+ year old Norinco is a copy of an original, military M1911-A1. The ejection port is small and high. One of the reasons for modern 1911s having lowered and flared ejection ports is so that a loaded round can clear the port. It's not unusual for M1911-A1s to stumble when hand cycling with unfired rounds.
Feeds fine ... stumbles on the eject.


Thanks for the help!
