1911 9MM MAGAZINES Reviews & Ratings

I bought two of these needing 10 rounders for an upcoming match and no one had other major manufacturers in stock. The good: they hold 10 rounds and fed all the rounds reliably with no jamming/misfeeds etc. The bad: One always fails to lock back on empty, the other fails 50% of the time. The issue is the follower slips up past the slide stop rather than pushing up the slide stop. The additional downside of this is the magazine then won't drop free without a tug as the follower condition results in lateral pressure from the slide stop against the side of the follower holding the magazine in the gun. I thought perhaps it was increased spring pressure of the 10 round magazines but I measured the force of the spring pressure using my trigger gauge and when empty, it actually has 3/4 to a full pound LESS spring pressure than the stock SA magazines. I can replicate the behavior even just inserting an empty magazine into the gun and the follower slips past the slide stop. None of my other magazines have any issues. I suppose I'll keep them (and mark them) for malfunction practice, but I don't recommend them.

NONE of these dropped from from the gun when released. One had to be forced INTO position. Unfortunately, becuase otherwise the materials and construction are solid.

I have used three of these magazines in a Dan Wesson Pointman 9. I have had multiple feed problems using all three of the Metalform magazines. Used them in two USPSA competitions and defensive pistol classes. More misfeeds than I have ever had with any pistol/magazine combination, using Kimbers and Dan Wesson Pistols. When fully inserted into the magwell, the magazine is loose with about a millimeter play. I have used Dan Wesson and Wilson Combat magazines without feed issues in the same pistol. Based upon the other reviews of this product on this website, I'm guessing that it is a firearm manufacturer or caliber specific problem. Would not recommend these magazines in this caliber for Dan Wesson products.
