How's about we discuss magazines?
I recall something from the other forum about swapping the guts between OEM mags and the ProMag magazines for better reliability. Is there anything to this? Anyone done it?
I think I have three of each and possibly one other OEM magazines. From another thread, I've looked mine over and all. Seems like the ProMags do have more spring pressure, and obviously....just by looking at them, have a somewhat larger catch for the slide lock.
I don't usually have any issues with any of my magazines, but I have a time or two and chalked it up to being my fault for miss feeds. Once in a great while the bolt will run right over the top round in a factory mag instead of running it to the chamber......and yes the mag was fully seated. My biggest mistake was just putting the magazine in question to the side (instead of marking it) and using the rest.
I may just swap a couple and see how things go. I have the 44mag and I've nearly always used the heavier loads 240gr-300gr. I will say that the PMC 180gr cycles my DE just fine though.
Any input on this guys?
