1911 PC Problem

Has anyone else had this problem ?

Wow I've never had that problem on mine, simple fix though.

Never seen that before, about how many rounds do you have through that piece?
Took another look at the pic, is that a crack or machining line in the back of the housing?

1911 PC Problem

The housing is cracked.Have around 700 rounds through it.

If you're not firing some kind of monster load I would think that S&W would trade that out for a new 1911 or repair yours.

I think this is a known problem. Mine is still O.K. but I keep watching for it. They will stake on an new spring housing most likely. This shouldn't happen on a $1.4K (what mine was) pistol from the S&W Performance Center.

Bummer - sorry about that...

What kind of loads were you firing?

 

[Ranger98]

Winchester 230 gr JHP.

Following post. I have one but with only a few hundred rounds through it. Any other 'known' problems with the PCRB?

Known issue.

Good news,S&W completed the repair and it was about a two week turn around.

My guess, like with the Ruger SR1911 front sight problem, S&W may have sourced some bad parts. The loss of that part is a bad thing and can shut the pistol down.
