Rye Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I have bought two Corey Tripp mags to try out. For some reason it does not seat properly. I'm using tech well sp system and using egw higher mag catch. The magazine is hard to seat and hard to release. I have to push the mag button so hard for it to release. Anybody have experience this problem? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRichardson Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) It may be the egw mag catch. Have you tried it with the factory or another known good catch. That egw catch is great at fixing feeding problems if your gun needs it, but it may not be needed.. The techwell shouldn't have anything to do with it. Also is the stop tab on the front of the base pad touching the frame with the mag locked in? Edited June 8, 2014 by DRichardson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MoreChains Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Does the problem persist if you switched back to the stock mag catch? For a while I was using one of those EGW higher mag catches and I found it took a pretty good smack to seat them. Filing down the basepad where it prevents the mag from being over-inserted can help with that, but eventually I took the gun to my gunsmith who polished the feedramp so I didn't need to use the EGW higher mag catch.

Rye Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 It works with a regular 1911 mags. Even the mags for para 1911 works. It could be a Corey and egw higher nag catch is a bad combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 The tab on the front base pad is not touching the frame. I ordered a wilson combat mag release and see if that'll work. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRichardson Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 The only other place I could think that could be touching and causing the mag to be hard to seat is the ejector. Take the slide off and insert the mag, is the mag feed lip touching the ejector ? Also are the hard to seat loaded and unloaded? If loaded how many rounds are you putting in them?

Rye Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 it seats easier when loaded. I load the magazine full (9 rnds). It seems like it's hitting the ejector. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRichardson Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Glad you figured it out. That regular height mag catch should take care of it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_C Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) My Coreys are right against my ejector without running a higher mag catch. I think I'd have to file on the ejector if I wanted/needed that catch. Edited June 9, 2014 by Chris_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thank you guys. It seems like the egw mag catch is pushing the magazine higher therefore hitting the ejector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
