1911 Magizine?????

[Cyric13]

I just got a Charles Daly 1911 everything is in sound order except for the mags. When I insert a mag into the gun it will not seat all the way, but the mag release button works fine. This causes the slide not to lock open on an empty mag unless I push and hold the mag in and cock the slide and it stays open. This will probaly cause feeding problems, right? Also is it the mags, so I can get some new ones? The ones that came with the gun look poorly made. I haven't took it to the range yet, that will be later on this week.

thanks, Cyric13

Poorly made magazines!!! Buy a few aftermarket mags. Try Wilson Combat. I also like MEC-GAR for the lower cost. This should fix you up!

It could be three things, bad magazine(s), bad magazine release or bad slide lock. Or a combination of the three. Try other magazines from different makers, a different magazine release and slide release. In that order, if the problem is not resolved, see the dealer that sold you the pistol.
