jualdeaux Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 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? Swap the followers and see if that changes things.

USPSA1911 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunotFranco Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Dawson Precision hands down!!!! Never had a nose dive, have used them dirty and flawless all the time. They are worth every penny. If you can get the no gap ones and if I recall a Magwell is legal in SS so get an Ice no gap... you wont regret it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLI45 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 +1 on Dawson. JunotFranco is right on. I've got a 9mm Trojan with the no gap magwell and the Dawson mags with the no gap basepads. Mags perform flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mags perform flawlessly. I just started shooting the same setup and so far have had no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunotFranco Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 That is my setup in IDPA and I dont know why I didn't do it earlier. It is a fast and smooth reloading all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappopper Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hi folks. I'm having issues with 10 rnd ETM magazines in Trojan. If i try to drop a mag with ammo in it, it's often stuck because the top round tends to follow the slide and the bullet touches the frame. Any ideas for a fix? Would shortening the mag spring make a difference? Or how much impact does the rate of the recoil spring have? Any info appreciated, thanks, c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would shortening the mag spring make a difference? Or how much impact does the rate of the recoil spring have? Any info appreciated, thanks, c I had the exact same problem. I tried every 9mm, .38 Super mag available and still had the same issue. I am now using Wilson ETM 10 round 9mm mags with no problem but I had to do a bit of tweaking. I cut 3 coils (yes, 3) off of the mag springs. I also polished the heck out of the rail with the disconnector divot and keep it well lubed. Gun runs flawlessly now. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
