1911 Magazines in 10mm

TX Punisher · August 06 2014 10:39:14 AM MDT

I ended up with 2 Metalform 8-rounders. Should have them, and the new toy, in my hands by Monday. We'll see how they each run with 180gr rnfp from Freedom.

Hi,
I too have the RIA tactical II and I tossed the factory mags and replaced them with Wilson Combat mags and have not had a single issue since.

I just got an RIA Tac II, and had no problems with the supplied mag.

My RIA Tactical II did not like anything except Tripp magazines. Even the magazine that came with the RIA did not work well- slide did not lock back on last round.

All I can say is mine works fine. Maybe they fixed the problem? It's a pretty new gun.

Just picked up my Kimber Eclipse 10mm today on my lunch hour, and since it only came with one magazine this thread is of definite interest! Do they all pretty much have the same base plate?

Nope, some have base pads, some are tapped for base pads, and some aren't. Followers can also be vastly different.

I have both the RIA and the Kimber Eclipse in 10mm. Both came with Metalform mags plus I ordered two from Armscor for a total of 4. All run fine in both. Steve

Tripps are the best

FWIW - all my experience is in a DW Razorback. I've had good results with the factory mags, and flawless results with Wilson mags. I just got a Tripp mag to try, but have not had a range day yet.

Nobody has mentioned Mecgar. Are they any good?

Guncrafter supplied Tripps with my new no-name. They even included a letter,saying that Tripps were the best. I'll find out at the range tomorrow ${$default_grin_smiley}$

Mecgar make magazines for a lot of the big gun companies. Ruger,s&w, beretta.. just to name a few. I dont know about 1911 stuff though, never owned one.

I have the 4.25 and have continuing problems with the round flipping and pushing all the other rounds in the mag down.

If I stretch the springs, it alleviates the issue for a short while but within a few loadings its back to that.

I have some +10% delta elite springs coming to see if that fixes the issue. Based on the way it was jamming I would be willing to bet the mag cant get the round up fast enough for the slide to catch it and strip the new round from the mag.

Ill let you know if the new springs resolve it.
