It doesn't matter how many rounds. 4 or 14 it always misfeeds the last round.

I finally got to the range with my p40 after getting it back from Colorado Gun Works about a month ago. After moving I was a bit lazy about getting the gun stuff unpacked. The mag release seemed a very stiff
at first but seemed to loosen up a bit with use. I put 6 mags through it (3 mags twice each). The mags did not drop out! However, when I sent it in, I told them that the gun would consistently misfeed the last
round in the mag. The said they "could not duplicate" the issue. On all 6 mags the last round failed to feed. Oh well.

I just got mine back From Colorado Gun Works too. They had mine since January 12th! The mag release is very stiff now. I just closed on a house on Monday so I am in the process of moving. It may be 3 or 4 weeks till I get a chance to go to the range.

Do you get bulged brass from your Megastar? Even with a moderate load, 180 FMJ over 8.7gr Longshot, I still get a slight bulge at the base. It appears to be where the feed ramp extends ever so slightly into the chamber. I have put about 200 rounds through it without a malfunction but this bulging of the brass annoys the heck out of me. Is it possible it is opening too soon? Maybe a stronger recoil spring would help if one could be found. The recoil spring in it is probably the original one. Wolfe doesn't make springs for this gun and I haven't found any place that has parts in stock.

I have used Wilson, Metalform and MecGar in my RI 10mm. The Wilsons are the only ones that have been 100%.

It sounds to me like he is talking about the mag spring being tight making it difficult to load the 14 rounds. He also mentions the last round feeding problem that I have too. Tomorrow will be 8 weeks since
Colorado Gun Works received my P40 and I haven't heard from them.

I could be wrong but I think the red spring is a 9mm spring. My K100 came with the red spring and the X-Calibur comes with 3 springs, one of them being the red spring.

I have a K100 and an Xcalibur and haven't had any problems with either one, just the P40.

It's been 5 weeks now so I called Colorado Gun Works to see what is going on. The guy said they have a couple P40's, including mine, where the magwell is too big for the mags, leaving a lot of play. He said they are waiting for the factory to tell them how to proceed. He said they may replace the whole gun or maybe just the plastic grip frame. He also said the factory had been closed for 2 weeks but was back open now and they expected to have an answer some time next week.

Big10, don't take this wrong but I'm glad I'm not the only one with the mag drop problem. I don't know where you are but they have different service centers in various parts of the country. I had to send mine to a place in Indiana. They just got mine this past Thursday so I haven't heard anything from them yet.

Has yours come back yet? If so, what is the verdict?

They have had it for just over 2 weeks now. I haven't heard anything from them. I will post after I get it back and go to the range.

Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet. The video is about their new .45 but he says at the end it will also be available in 9mm and 10mm.

Ok, I took my P40 to the range again yesterday. Earlier in this thread someone suggested giving the mag a good hard slap to make sure it fully seats. I tried this but the mag drops persist. Of course the feeding problems continued.
I called Eagle this morning and they gave me the phone number of the place to send it to. Apparently they have different "warranty repair centers" around the country. For me this turned out to be Colorado Gun Works which
interestingly is in Indiana. I am in Kentucky. I have to pay shipping there but they pay return shipping. I wonder how long it will take them to get it back to me?
