In my experience, the reliability of mags goes down in proportion to the amount of extra rds they try to get you to squeeze in. The 8 rounders seem to work ok but I have had issues with the "trick" higher capacity mags.
you can also ram them in too far if you're too enthusiastic - some have a shelf to act as a spacer in a .gov size frame, much like slamming a .gov size mag into an officer frame
I have two for my Marlin Camp 45. Also have a Wilson Combat 10-rounder. Both function quite well. But then again, I'm using them in a carbine, not a pistol.
I've had a number of the Chip McCormic mags in 7, 8 and 10 round all worked fine with my Springfield and RIA 1911. Both of these guns however have steel frames and have seen some complaints about one of the magazines being used in alloy framed guns marking the feed ramps.
Have always heard good things about the Chip McM mags but the one that I bought just doesn't work in my RI 1911. First round fires and the mag disengages. Slap it back again and the next round fires but the mag drops again. Tried different ammo types and the same thing happens. Just doesn't work except to make my 1911 a single shot gun. Not good.
Well, Hell, they've been using them in USPSA L10 since the division started. They ae fine, and completely reliable. If McComicks 7 or 8 round mags work with your gun these should too.
