Some people in the Handguns forum told me to post this questionn here, so here goes.
I just bought a NIB Chalres Daly 1911(my first 1911). It came with two mags, susspose to be Mec-Gar but they have no marks or letters on them anywhere(other Mec-Gar mags have letters and numbers on then that I've seen). The problem is that the mags do not seat fully. Causeing the slide not to lock open on a empty mag unless I push and hold the mag in then cock the slide back. But then the mag release button doesn't work unless I pull slighty on the mag. I've heard it might be the mags, the slide stop, or the mag izine release. And to try in that order. BTW I have not fired this weapon yet plan to sometime this week. Some help please.
thanks, Cyric13
