has anyone had a problem when disassembling/reassembling these mags? I went out and shot 24 rounds through my RIA 1911A1 and only had one FTL but that was with a Winchester PDX1 hollow point and the gun is new and the Manuel says to run 500 FMJ before firing hollow points although I've heard of people shoot hollow points right off the bat. anyway I came home and disassembled the gun and the mags to clean and re-oil the gun and mags and the CMC Power mags act like they don't want to load 8 rounds. I took them apart and inspected them and everything looked alright but they sometimes still don't want to load 8 rounds. kinda got me scratching my head, any suggestions? never mind, I thought I'd try something and left the spring in the same direction with the smaller loop at the top but turned them 180deg. and reassembled and that took care of the problem. I would have swore I had them in the right way and I did just needed to turn them 180 deg. man when it has been over 25 years since having used the 1911's it's amazing what you can forget.
