I think Crosshair's gun needs some attention from a good 1911 gunsmith.

Crosshair's 1911 cost $250. Sending it to a gunsmith would be like sending a $5 hamster to the vet.

However it feeds LRN and other non-SWC ammo just fine with 100% reliability, so "No SWC ammo" isn't a deal breaker. I just use LRN bullets. Good to see that others have better luck with SWC in autoloaders. As always, use whatever your gun likes.
