testdrive,

I basically built a 9mm, 1911 using a Colt Full size stainless framed Gov't model originally chambered in .38 Super. Mec-Gar makes a great mag, but I strongly suggest you get either an original Colt 9mm factory mag, a Metalform 9mm mag, or a Wilson 9mm mag. The first 2 are available from Brownell's. I found a like new Wilson mag on Gunbroker for $30.00 shipped. I have all 3 and they work well.

Mine feeds anything, LSWC's, HP's, 125 or 147 grain bullets. If you continue to have problems, at least you've narrowed the problem down and probably won't be to hard to rectify.
