Hello folks, new pistol and scratching my head...

Finally took my Sig 1911 22lr out to the range. I opened the action, loaded up a mag, released the slide and chambered a round. Pulled the trigger and the first shot went off. I pulled the trigger a second time and nothing happened. I manually ejected the spent brass and chambered another round. This time it fired normally and I cycled through the final 9 rounds without any issues.

I loaded another mag and the same thing happened...put about 60 rounds through and the same thing happened each time. The first shot fires but I have to manually eject and chamber the second round - the following rounds in the mag are fine.

Not sure if this is a safety feature (manually doesn't say anything, nor does it make sense) or does it sound like an issue. I was thinking ammo (Federal) but that doesn't make sense either...it's only the first round that doesn't seem to extract.

Anyone heard of this before?
 
I have over 1700 through my gsg. The only ammo that gave problems was the Remington golden bullets. They kept jamming on the feed ramp.
 
I had the same thing happen a few times. It turned out that one of my mags will hold 11 rounds the last one is a little tight but if your not counting it can go unnoticed. It caused my gun to fail in the same manner. If your sure you only have 10 rounds in the mag perhaps your mag spring is not seated properly or your having some other issue that is causing the first round to sit a little tight,
 
Did you disassemble, clean and lube before taking it to the range? These ship with a lot of gummy crap inside. If you don't already know, your pistol is just a re-branded GSG.

Interesting, I'll take a closer look at that. I'll play with the mag capacity, see if I have the same issue with <10.

Thanks for that.
