Had this issued with a "tuned" mag catch. I'd buy a new mag catch and see if that works. Take the mag catch out and inspect the lip that holds the magazine in place.

It happens eventually with all mag catches. Metal mags + metal mag catch = erosion of engagement surface. Since modifying the mag catch hole in the mag, is likely to irreparable damage the mag. A stronger spring may help, but eventually you'll need a new mag catch. It's a cheaper option than two new mags...

My sps mags have sucked, replaced the springs and followers with grams as well.
Are they ok now? It was mainly the follower than caused me to curse. Once that changed, they were good, and I figured I might as well change the rest.

Oddly enough, the SPS 140mm mags, w/ Grams followers/springs, and Dawson bases, have run 100% for me. YMMV, but I’ll get more based on my track record with them.

I will play around with trying to find a placement for my finger and maybe using that grip tape idea.
I have a partial square of clear grip tape on the right side of my 2011, just in front of the pin (see pic). As others have mentioned, it's a nice reference during movement and reloads.

If you are looking for an adjustable Novak cut rear sight, checkout Kensight. Really nice, adjustable, and keeps same look. Should be 90%-100% drop in.

Anyone tried one yet? Any feedback?

And that is why I have so many GSI tool head bullet feeders. I have no desire to combine the two unless I have no other option and also don't like to loose fail safes once I already have them in place.
Sure a microwave would be faster to use if I took the door off but it just doesn't seem as safe at that point,
If it hadn't worked so well for me, and my very specific set of variables, I would have chosen to lose the Powder-Check and keep the Dillon Seat Die and the Lee Factory Crimp Die. But... It works for me. And as a favorite NCO of mine once told me, "If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid." I like the GSI, but I wasn't able to (in first person) see any working during my decision process. Several of my friends have the MBF, so it was an easy choice.

I don't know. It was not expensive, and I'm happy with its performance.

Well, the DAA Seat & Crimp die is a resounding success for me. I haven't had anything fail the case gauge or the gun since I set it up. I get to keep my powder check die, and my Mr BulletFeeder is dropping with precision (once I adjusted everything correctly for my bullets). I'm making about 100-rds every 5-min, and that's including adding primers/brass/bullets when they run low.

Here's my initial impression. Overall, I like it, but it is not competition ready.
This is one of the videos that helped me with the decision to buy one. My wife needed a short notice replacement for her game gun. I swapped all the competition specific parts from her game gun and its competition ready now. Definitely needed magwell, re-springing, and mag release change. Super easy.

My wife is running the 9mm version. It didn't function well with my competition handloads (125gr RN, 3.7gr TG, 1.135 OAL, 129PF), using the factory springs. Since we didn't have time to "play find-the-right-spring-for-the-load" before the match this weekend, she shot using factory 9mm ammo without a problem. I've ordered some Wolff calibration spring packs to help narrow down the best recoil/hammer combination. I did transplant her Dawson Ice Magwell and extended mag release without issue.
-
Forgot to mention I also did the series 80 delete.
What spring weight did you end up using?
-
To update this with all that I've done to it..
Wilson Combat sear
Wilson Combat disconnector
Wilson Combat Hammer
Wilson Combat extended slide stop
Wilson Combat FLGR
Wilson Combat sear spring
6 Wilson Combat mags with extended pads
Dawson Ice mag well
Changed the blue FO for red.
Extended mag release
15# recoil spring
I've shot several matches with it. The gun has run flawlessly for me.
We will likely do a swap of the guts for all EGW (they are close to me and sell to all the local smiths), and Series 80 delete.

My wife is picking one up in 9mm tomorrow. Her USPSA competition gun, a STI 1911 suffered a broken barrel today that will require fitting a new barrel. But not in enough time for some upcoming matches (levels 1 and 3) very soon. With a transplant of the guide rod and Dawson magwell, she should be able to limp thru until the STI is fixed, and then send the Colt out for a trigger job. Because if you have a spare, nothing breaks.
-
Add the Mr BulletFeeder... It's so fast you second guess yourself.
-
Any mag I've used goes in a pocket or backwards in a pouch.
-
Since I make just one flavor of 9mm for my competition guns, if I can duplicate that with the combo die, I'll be happy, and keep the powder check. If not, then I'll ditch the powder check and use my Dillon seat and Lee factory crimp.
-

After adding my Mr BulletFeeder, and losing my powdercheck station, th combo die surfaced on DaA's website. This allows you to combine stations so that you can leave a station for powdercheck or such. I imagine that Lee is making it for them, but I don't know for sure. Despite the anecdotal successes and failures of a combo seat/crip die, I am compelled to try it at the price point of $29. That powder check has kept me squib free, much better than my mk1-eyeball.
Thoughts, concerns, actual experience, precognitive dreams featuring the die and a random anime character?
-
Check Midway USA. They carry Mr Bullet Feeder.
-
What about putting a foam ball (baseball size) sprayed with case lube in the case feeder? It should just roll around with cases, and shouldn't put weight or pressure on the clutch. I think I'll try it and report back.

The match and prize table breakfast is like a family reunion. Seeing former squad-mates and match friends from years past. Glad to see the family growing and thriving in a climate against our chosen sport. Imagine, 315 AR's (evil black rifles), 315 shotguns, and 315 pistols, in one place, no deaths (unless heat stroke), no crimes (except maybe my gun handling skill), and the open lending of equipment when your brother or sister's gear breaks. If that's a messed up society, I choose it.

I really like my Trijicon Accupower 1-8x FFP, and to be honest, my Primary Arms 1-6x SFP was pretty great, and I heard their 1-8x wasn’t too shabby for a low cost option.
