You have to run 124gr NATO in these foe like 500 rounds. The weaker target ammo will not cycle properly until it's broken in.

I had a garrison just like that one in 9mm. Lots of times, it would not chamber a round. Had to send it back to Springfield. I was not impressed. Good video 👍

It's a 1911. It's a century old design. It's like a Harley-Davidson. EVERY internal part is both replaceable and upgradable. And like a Harley, knowing how to troubleshoot them is part of ownership.

I have the Garrison in .45 cap.it has been flawless. I had a loaded target in stainless 9mm and it just would not stay running. I also have a Rock Island 9mm tac ultra and it just flat out hauls ass. Have my eye on a colt competition pistol in 9mm now, so we will see how it goes.i have a dozen 1911’s two of which are 9mm . The Springfield didn’t run the rock island does. Hoping for better luck with the colt when it comes. Great video , thanks for sharing.

I've had one of these in .45 for over a year. At first it was jamming when trying to feed a round but after it got broken in it's been running flawlessly. The extractor was a little too tight most likely

I spent a ridiculous amount on a Pro light rail on gunbroker. The damn thing is already at Springfield for warranty work. Amd for whatever reason the bushing could be removed by hand. Pros are suppose to be tight. They definitely aren't $3k guns.

I like your video and the clear perspective you have on the gun. Writing this right now without finishing the full video I have to say this: With your history and experience with a 1911, what happens when you rack the slide at 7:00 into your video, it should've been plainly obvious what was the problem with your Garrison. As is mentioned below, the disconnector "grabs" the slide and won't let it move forward. The extractor may be improperly tensioned as well - none of which are your fault. My Garrison will do the same, but in a much less violent manner as yours does - it definitely needs some work. You can field strip a 1911 in seconds, so you know what does what. These all-steel guns are NOT the same as the polymer/plastic guns that dilute the market now. They may be accurate and reliable, but they do not become a "Tonto" to a "Lone Ranger", if I may write bluntly. All-steel guns require lots of rounds through them, some fitting, lots of oil, care, and some TLC that only you can describe with your gun. I know that a Garrison is almost $1000 but when you get it humming and have some fun changing a few parts, it becomes even more "yours", if you understand my meaning. But this gun is the most vocal, demanding, silky, and bell-ringing gun I have ever owned. I can't speak to it's accuracy, because I just changed the 3-dot sights to fiber-optic/Tritium sights and don't even know what they look like. Anyway, like other viewers of your video, I look forward to a follow-up post-fixes, to see if your Garrison eventually becomes the M1A1 "basic" 1911 in your armory that has fought in so many wars. Peace!

I hadn’t considered the extractor. Though, if I understand correctly, too much tension on the extractor May have loosened the stakes on the ejector? I don’t know, but that seems to make sense. I definitely had it in mind to make this my basic 1911 a1 as you put it, to replace the RIA with something that I could have a degree of confidence in. However, I just sent of a bran new Colt Competition Series 1911 off to Nighthawk for a tasteful menu of options and upgrades…I’m afraid I may have opened a Pandora’s box of addiction….I’m hoping not, otherwise the SA may get the same treatment 😬🤣

I have had Springfield Armory guns throughout the years and bought one of these because I wanted a 9mm 1911. I put about 200 rounds through it. Took back to the store and traded for another gun. My other Springfields are .45's. Their target gun and a TRP. Sweet pistols. With the TRP, literally no hiccups after thousands of rounds from day one. I shoot it. I clean it and I shoot it. Best ever This one was udder disappointment. If I were to get another 9mm 1911 it would be the Operator

Hey Mike, I have always liked the Colt Competition series. Have shot them and almost went that route. I decided I wanted more rounds in my hand and started looking at the Sig line up Ended up going with a CZ P 09. My next gun for carry is going to be a CZ P 07. Have always loved a single stack 1911 style pistol, always will. Just a bad choice.

I think the small amount of play between the barrel bushing and the slide is normal. My Tisas has very visible space there and it still shoots very accurately. But if Springfield can fix it then definitely go for it. Any update on this? I have the Operator and am very happy with it so far. I was thinking about the Garrison next in .45.

@@teelowteelow356I think he ment put like a lapping compound on rails and inside of slide then fire 30 or 40 rounds then clean and oil the gun. It helps take any rough or tight spot out of fit between slide and frame. I had a kimber that wouldn't work right and I did this and it smoothed right out and works great now. But you shouldn't have to do that it should work correctly from the factory!

I got a Garrison from a person and it did the same thing! The slide locked up and wouldn’t move. The gun looked new but the guy came back and took the gun but haven’t herd anything else from him! He’s avoiding me now so we’ll see what happens! I thought I was getting a decent gun but this is the second one now with the same problem. Good luck with however you make out,I definitely wouldn’t use it for my everyday carry. I’m thinking it might be the barrel loop? They should give you a new gun!!!
