Hi everyone,
I recently discovered this problem upon pulling out my gas pistol after about a month of storage in its box.
I have a Western Arms 1911 single stacker, Shibuya Custom Shop (pre "SCW").
When the trigger is pulled, it reaches maybe halfway through its cycle, then the slide gets stuck and the magazine expels all remaining gas. The loading muzzle remains stuck in the chamber, and it takes a good solid bump on the back of the slide to get the whole system unjammed.
This is happening every time the trigger is pulled. I'm hoping someone else might have encountered this before. I've oiled everything in hopes that it was just sticking from dryness, but it's still jamming the same way. I've never replaced the hammer spring, or anything in the lower reciever...I'm wondering if it's something there.
I took pictures of it in mid-jam. Please have a look and if you can contribute to the cause, it would be greatly appreciated. High resolution pictures are available at
