[QUOTE="doctruptwn, post: 913913, member: 5207"] 1. You said you have an STI Slide, Was the frame a 9mm, or 38 Super frame. 2. You Have 6-9mm mags I assume all new, are you having the feeding problem with all 6. If the answers to the questions are: 1. I'm not sure or no. and 2. yes. Your proplem is likely the frame. The 1911 frame feed ramp has a specific angle for 45 acp, and a separate angle for 38 super/9mm. Fear not all is not lost, but you need a good gunsmith who is VERY familur with the 1911 and can re-angle the feed ramp for 9mm. If your frame was a frame designed for 9mm, then you first should polish the feed ramp so that it is very smooth, use extreme caution doing this and put the dremel tool away, this is best done by hand. I have serious doubts that all 6 mags would be faulty. If your angle is correct, your ramp is polished, your mags are all new there is another issue, that will require an experienced eye to find.
