Mine has a integral feed ramp machined directly onto the barrel.  Different in design and frankly, I don't know why more companies don't adopt that configuration.

Never an issue!

Wilson sells some but I didn't see .45 ACP on the list.  Don't know why...Most Para Ord have them along with that monster extractor that chucks brass a country mile!

I'm still quite please with that little Para.  At 700 bucks, it's never failed me.  My only complaint is the finish, could be a bit more durable but I carry the darn thing, shoot it every time I'm at the range and abuse it like I would any other.

Still would like a nice Colt though.  Now that I'm in CT, that's been on the list.

If I ever get a small milling machine, my first project will be a ramped barrel in a 1911.

I'd seek out the services of someone at Wayne Novak's shop in Wheeling.

Inquiring minds want to know:
- What brand was your old 1911?
- What brand/type is the new one?
- When are you going to be able to post pictures of it?

FWIW, The only feeding problems I have seen with any of the 1911s I've owned have been with .40 S&W.  All of my .45acp & 9mm have digested anything I cared to feed them. 

I have intentionally withheld the maker because the automatic response I get most places is that every problem is a result of the maker being who they are. I will say it is a lower cost 1911 in the $550-$700 range and is imported in most cases.

Ellis, I though he was in Parkersburg WV but that aside, how easy could it be to see one of the most in demand 1911 specialists walking this earth?

I don't think you'd get that response here though I could be wrong.  There are plenty of 1911 guns on the market that are reliable and function properly without breaking the bank.  I have one of those myself as do several other regulars on this forum.

I've seen 2500 dollar guns choke on every other mag loaded into them but my little pistol just runs like a cheap Timex watch....

It doesn't matter here what the brand is g4l, a good break in, and a fluff & buff of the feed ramp with some Flitz, should do the trick on 99% of 1911's.

My S&W 1911 "tweaked" was so darn tight, when new, with Wilson P47D 8rd. mags, that with Federal JHP's, (only) it would load the next round straight into the feed ramp, and fail to go into battery.

100 rds. of target ammo, 10 rds. of brand "x" JHP, 10 rds. of brand "y" JHP, 10 rds. of brand "z", another 50 rds, of ball, a good cleaning, a little "love" with Flitz on the feed ramp, and the pistol has yet to not shoot anything.

Even Wolf .45 Now, the gun just eats everything.

As they say on the golf course, "Grip it, and rip it"....it'll be fine.

It's been 20 years since I got a ramped barrel installed. My memory is kind of fuzzy but Cylinder and Slide may have done it. I know they did some other work for me. Now it feeds everything incluiding flying ashtrays.
