View Full Version : 10 round mags
a question to the group. I usedx some 10 round mags to qual under hr 218 the other night. the mags would lock back with the last round still in the mag and when i cleared it i lost the round. I still qualled but less than my usual 98 percent. the mags were 10 round g-19 mags and i got them new (then were given to me) I used them last year with no problems. The mags wouldnt do this all the time but enoughthat it was a bother.
Any ideas why and what i could do to correct the problem. I do not carry the mags when carrying the weapon. The mags arent used that much and i never had the probldem before. Im mystified.

Compare the shelf on the follower that engages the slide stop on one that doesn't work correctly to one that does.

What does it say on the followers? The shape has changed numerous times.

I think they are up to number 6 or 8 on the followers.
OP, did you have the stock slide lock lever in the gun or was it an aftermarket?
I have the same problem with my G20. New mags, new gun (I got them this February) 10rds, and that's the #1 (and maybe the only) failure I have using my new mags and typical practice ammo.
BamaTrooper, can you explain what the Slide Lock might have to do with the issue? I would think that the slide stop would be more relevant, but I'm no expert...

My bad, I meant slide stop lever. Running on too little sleep. I was wondering if you might have gotten anaftermarket that was bent wrong or just out of spec but was thinking "the slide had locked" so slide and locked became slide lock. Sorry for the confusion.

Going to Montgomery tomorrow and pick up the 30sf and about 2 dozen mixed magazines.
