Hey guys,
I had an odd occurrence at the range yesterday with my SA RO 1911 in 9mm . I was having a random issue with the mag not locking the slide on the last shot. Have not shot this gun much this year. Took the gun apart and it seemed the mag follower did not have enough pressure to raise the lever that engages the slide lock. I have not cleaned the mags since the gun was new and that was about 5 years ago (and they were very dirty internally), At first I could not figure out how to remove the mag follower, then after watching a few vids I was able to remove them. After a really good cleaning, and cleaning and lubing the slide lock pin everything functions perfect again. I sprayed the mag internals with some Rem Oil, and is this a good idea or not ?
