I just got home with a new toy, a 1927 Colt Sistema, and amazingly enough, just caught the UPS guy with my Natchez order, which included thre Chip McCormick Shooting Star magazines.
I'm playing with the new gun (very nice, and only $300!), and I try to slip in one of the new magazines... It is very tight, and about half way, it sticks. All three of them are the same. I could probably jam it all the way in, but I'd never get the damn thing out.
Are these magazines wider than normal? The one magazine that came with the gun is a tiny bit narrower than the McCormicks, and fits snug, but well. Are the Sistema Colt magazine wells tighter than normal pre-war Colts?
I have, by the way, confirmed it is not the grip screws or such that are the problem.
Anyone with any info, please help...
