  1. Just had a conversation with Virgil Tripp this afternoon. He is sending me 3 different length springs to try. He also mentioned to polish the part of the slide that strips/feeds the next round from the mag. Feed-lips seem to be good for now. Virgil also claimed this is a fairly common problem.

    Don't think that OAL is the issue at all.  My guess is sacked out mag springs or too much case lube. 

     

    For the sake of argument.  What do the feedlips measure front & back?

    Just pulled them apart and measured all 6 mags. 
    Back and Front

    .345 and .364

    .348 and .361

    .344 and .374

    .347 and .351

    .343 and .363

    .346 and .356

     

  3. Mags not dropping free.....

     

    I’ve had this issue for a while and moved on to limited so I never ended up addressing... I’m using 10mm tripp mags in my .40 1911’s. My ammo is loaded to 1.183 and is moving around in the magazine enough to cause a drop issue. Basically, if i do not use every round in the mag, the rounds move forward enough to cause the mag to get hung up in the gun. Questions: 

    Is there something i can do to the mags to cure the issue? 
    Would loading ammo shorter fix the problem? 
    Would loading the ammo longer fix the issue? Maybe not allowing for movement? 
    Thank you in advance.
