Did you only load ball in it or did you load JHPs too?

The RIA 1911 is sounding like a better idea more and more, but adventure outdoors has some small 1911s from Para on their used rack that are quite hard to pass up.
I have a RIA and had some problems with it in the beginning. No matter what I tried, tuning the extractor, polishing the ramps, new mags, etc... after the first mag or 2 it would start miss-feeding or extracting.

Turns out that it was the firing pin block was undersized. RIA's support was very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. 8)
