Decided to use my Colt Stainless Factory Enhanced Government Series 80 Mk IV. It’s been in the safe for over 25 years and I bought it in Hawaii while on Active Duty. Shot it very little (couple of mags once in a very long while —not even 100 rounds total) as I mostly shot my Beretta 92 FS. Anyways, I have a bunch of Colt Stainless 8 Round mags with different followers such as “shooting star.” Did some research on the net and the consensus was that they are unreliable and 7 rounders are better——- or just loading them to 7 rounds. I am a retired Marine and past training is such that I don’t carry it with a round in the chamber unless the s@*# is going to hit the fan or sense that it is. My thought is that I can carry it with an 8 round mag and then chamber a round when necessary. This would be equivalent to a seven round mag with an additional round in the chamber. This point was never addressed. Thought on 8 round mags. Thanks. Jim .. BEDFORDTEC
