Over the years, my use of extra capacity magazines in the 1911 platform has been disappointing. Very few have performed in a sufficient manner. The makers just didn’t seem to be able to design their oversize mags so they could control the cartridges well enough to the first to the last. I surmise the followers were not well aligned and shifted in moving up the tube and spring tension varying widely from the 1st to the last shot.
In my case, more “stovepipes”, “nose-ups”, etc. I’ve reached the point where I just don’t think the positives outweigh the problems incurred. Now-a-days, I stay to the original configuration.
Yes, in case you are thinking there were other problems; I did isolate it to this one variable.
Anyone else frustrated or is one mfgr got this thing solved?
