Well, the pistol arrived from Remington yesterday afternoon, so the total round trip was just under one week. I certainly can't complain about that.
Looking at the paperwork that was returned with the gun, the technician replaced two grip screw bushings, as well as the slide stop. I'm not sure what either of those had to do with the problem, but if they want to throw new parts on the gun for free, I'll let them.
His notes also said that the "feed ramp was rough" and that he polished it. Looking at the ramp/barrel gap, it looks like it might be a tiny bit wider than it was before. I'm taking it to the range after work today, so we'll see how it does.
Just on a whim, I also packed a box of the 185 gr LSWC rounds that were causing the gun to choke so badly a few months ago. I had given up being able to use those bullets with this 1911, but maybe after this recent work I'll have better luck.
