I returned the Metalforms and Dawsons, and I purchased Wilson Combat elite tactical 10rd mags. It appears as if these are going to do the job. Thank you for all the advice. Tim

I tried the Dawson mags, the design of the lips won't allow the slide on my RIA to close completely. It's kind of strange, the 9 round Metalforms I purchased for the pistol, and the one that came with it, have a completely different style feed lip than the 10 round Dawson/Metalform. The upper mag in the photo is the Metalform 9 round, and the lower mag is the Dawson/Metalform 10 round. There's clearly a difference in the design. The RAI's slide won't close completely on the 10 round mag. Has anyone experienced this? Is this a common anomaly with 10 round mags, or is there one out there closer to the design of the Metalform 9 round mag feed lips?

Yeah, I hate to take a file to a new $38 magazine. I'm going to return the Dawson's and order Metalform 10 rounds mags. The 9 round Metalform's work, so I'm thinking the 10 round mags should work also. Thanks for the advice!

2nd mag photo. Bottom mad is the Dawson. There is a difference in the lips.

Here's a couple more pictures. In both pictures the Dawson mag is on the left. The mags on the right are Metalform.

Oops! Here's the picture.

The slide closes fine on the magazine that came with the gun, and the two Metalform 9-round magazines I purchased. I have attached a photo of the pistol's slide. The slide won't close completely, and it's jammed. Almost as if the magazine goes into the pistol too far.

So I ordered a couple Dawson Precision 9mm 10 round magazines for the Rock Island 1911. DP 1911 9mm 10 Round Stainless Steel Magazine with Tactical Standard Basepad, Black #001019 The pistol's slide won't close on these magazines. The label on the package says they're for standard magwells. Did I order the wrong mags? Is there something I'm missing? I'm guessing it's something simple. Thanks for the help! Tim

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If I get bit by the bug hard, I can always buy another gun, or have this one modified.

Barney up??? What does that mean? (New guy.)

Thanks for all the advice! I'm going to give the Dawson's a try. Will there be any use for the (3) 8 round magazines I already have?

Thanks for all the advice! I've ordered an Uncle Mike's holster and mag pouch from Amazon, and magazines from Dawson. That should get things started.

Are there any online vendors stocking Uncle Mike's kydex holsters? Or are they all depleted like all other things firearms related?

So the gun with empty mag can weigh nor more than 43 oz. Looks like I need to borrow a postal scale.
