I was cleaning mags in preparation of going to the range with a new to me Kimber Custom tle. This is my first 1911 which I purchased used from a coworker. It came with an unknown round count and an assortment of magazines. 5 of the mags are Wilson Combat. 2 out of the 5 have a shorter spring and I can only load 7 rds in them. The others have the longer spring and easily load 8.
On the two mags that have shorter springs, the followers have been damaged and they catch on the magazine. Is is a coincidence or is this a known issue with magazines that are setup like this? The mags with a longer spring load/cycle correctly.
I found this page, https://www.trippresearch.com/store/store_1911.html , but I could not find a part number of the magazines that matched, so I am unsure what to order to fix the mags.
Also, on my first trip to the range I was had two magazines that caused feeding issues. The round would feed into the top of the barrel at a sharp angle, causing the round not to chamber. I was shooting 230gr rn reloads, which are tailored to my g41. All check my rounds with a Dillon case gauge but am wondering if I need to look into a potential oal length change on my reloads, or if it is most likely a mag issue.
Thanks,
Alex
