I've got a taurus 1911 that I have had no problems with, and I recently was given the factory new magazine to an sti trojan (made by act mag). mag spring is much stiffer than the factory taurus mag, but otherwise they appear identical.
here is the problem: with the slide locked back on the empty sti mag, I can't get the slide release to operate without using 2 thumbs and a lot of force. insert taurus mag, flawless operation.
It appears the springs are too stiff or something. anybody have a helpful solution? (throw gun in trash, taurus sucks, my friend had a taurus revolver that didn't work, etc are not "helpful" mine has worked great and I'm not in the market for new 1911 at this time)
