They are a little more economical and have good reviews on Brownnells website. Have you used them?
...I convert all 8-round mags to 7 rounds...
Yeah. Whoddathunkit, eh?dahermit said:It is apparent that John Browning knew what he was doing.
Those 9mm magazines with the "integral ramp" front are an interesting animal. IIRC, I think they were Rob Leatham's idea. I have a couple of them. They're a curios anomaly ... I have seen some pistols that will run with those magazines and nothing else, and I've seen other pistols that will run with just about anything else, but definitely not with those.rock185 said:Also their 9-rd. 9MM Front ramp type,
I couldn't agree more when you're talking standard length mags. However, I've had good luck with the 8-round mags that are slightly extended. I've tried extended 8-round mags from Checkmate, Metalform, Wilson, Tripp, McCormick, and ACT. They've all been good.Yeah. Whoddathunkit, eh?
As I have commented before, as recently as a day or two ago, the 1911 magazine holds 7 rounds because that's the most John Browning thought would fit and work reliably. And they worked, for about 80 years. Then people who thought they were smarter than John Moses Browning decided that they could fit 8 rounds into 7-round magazines by shortening the vertical leg of the follower and tinkering with the spring.
And then the fun began.

Never experienced what? It would help if you would at least identify what post you are responding to, even if you don't know how to quote it.jacinda said:never experienced it
