A couple weeks ago I picked up an RIA 9mm Tac II.
Yesterday was the first real range trip with it.
I had two different mags on hand. The MecGar mags that came with it and some mags from Joe on eBay.
The MecGar mags in this pistol are junk. Nose dives like I've never seen. This was with four different reloads. They worked fine with some bulk 9mm factory stuff my buddy had.
The mags from Joe https://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-type-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 worked about 75% of the time. Then they would start nose diving on me.
I'm starting to understand the frustration with 9mm 1911 pistols.
Please note that my reloads work just fine in my Sig P365, Canik TP9SFX, S&W 5906, and Ruger PCC.
The MecGar mags have the spacer in the front of the mag and the mags from Joe have them at the back of the mag.
I had hoped to use this in our defensive pistol matches but there's no way it's reliable enough to do so.
Any tips or hints on how to get this 9mm 1911 running?
I've owned a bunch of 1911 pistols in .45 ACP and 10mm. Never had this problem.
