Howdy.
I've got an RIA 1911 Tactical. Has about 1,700 rounds through it. The last 2-3 times I've taken it out to shoot competitions both of my back up pro mag magazines have failed to feed the first round out of the mag. It usually stops with the first round about halfway out of the mag and I usually just slam it home by bumping the back of the slide with my hand. Once that first round is in, they feed flawlessly. I have not had this issue at all on the factory ACT mag that came with the gun and I replaced the recoil spring with a standard 15lb wolf spring about 200 rds ago (the issue started before then).
I am going to be replacing them with some better quality mags, but in the mean time I'd like to know if I can tell if the feed lips are bent possibly? Maybe it's a mag spring issue?
