ranger Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I bought a STI framed 2011 full size in 45 - came with 7 MAGs. The 4 MAGs that appear to be STI will lock the slide back when the mag is empty. The 3 MAGS that appear to be SVI (no grooves, highly polished) do not lock the slide back when the mags are empty. Is this a SVI mag in STI frame issue? Do the SVI mags have a different style follower? Looking for comments before I start tearing all the mags apart and troubleshooting.

SteveU Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Based solely on the information you provided I bet it's the follower that has been modified/does not lock the slide back. Start with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poortrader Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Most likely follower. Can you load same amount of rounds in STI and SVI mags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
