help with stove pipes on a Valtro

[imarco]

Been shooting my gently used Valtro in 45acp. Never had any issues with it. Last two times at the range it has been stove piping on me something fierce. I have tried various mags with no change. I have altered my grip strength as well with no effect. I clean it after every trip to the range. Looking for some siggestions

Thanks

Most likely the extractor has insufficient tension. I suggest that you have a good 1911 gunsmith fit a new one.

~ Ammo powerful enough.
~ Not just grip strength, but keep your arm rigid.
~ Clean under the extractor.
~ Make sure the barrel link moves freely.
~ Lube the rails and exterior of the barrel.
