My Springfield 1911 Loaded has been running great except every once in a while it'll fail to eject the last round.
I thought it was just the mag (seemed to be specific to one in particular) but have had it happen with some other mags(o.e., Kimber, and Colt)lately.
Here's the deal- last round feeds like any other (completely flawless feeding so far
). Last round goes boom and a mag change reveals that the mag won't drop free 
Upon trying to clear jam the little sh!t won't come loose 
So by this point I'm dead, playing with the stuck case 
Upon further inspection the rear of the case is wedged into the feed lips of the mag (kind of dug in-no apparent damage to lips though) and in doing so the case is tipped up and the slide crushes the front of the case. To release the case I have to push it down and forward to dislodge it from the mag.
The gun has had only approx. 400-500 rounds through it from 4 different mags.
Is this a handling problem on my part, or is it something more typical of a mechanical problem? OR, do these mags just suck in this way and are telling me to get Wilsons
Oh, if it helps the diagnosis any better, the follower does appear to be working the slide catch as it should because the slide is locked as normal.
