RJM, my buddy had the same comments when I told him I bought 8 rd Colt mags. The Pachmyer follower in there makes em a 7 rounder and they load easier but they maybe junk anyway. These are the only 8 rd mags I've tried, the rest are 7 rounders.
It's good to hear that the problems I'm having that no one ever heard of are all of a sudden being verified.
As I said I know nothing about the 1911 platform but I'm learning, or at least trying to.
