JerryS, Reading your description of the malfunction you experienced, it sounds like you experienced a failure to extract. It should have been accompanied with a noticeable decrease in recoil and/or noise level. Failure to extract in a 1911 can be caused by a "squib" or low powered round that doesn't create enough chamber pressure to push the slide back far enough for the shell casing to be struck by the ejector. Failure to extract can also be caused by too strong a mainspring, but this will cause all rounds to fail to extract. Your experience is most probably due to one low powered round in the ammo you are using. A "stovepipe" is a term used to describe a failure to feed. It is most often caused by magazine feed lip improperly shaped, occasionally caused by a rough or damaged surface on the feed ramp, weakened/aged magazine spring or damaged follower.
I have never used "Wolf" brand steel cased ammo in a 1911, so I don't know if there are problems there.
Springfield Armory has a very good reputation among people who shoot a lot.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
