[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 4285510, member: 14520"] Certainly a magazine could be designed poorly but my guess is that this issue would be rare. The shape of the follower not allowing a proper exit angle of the round would be a problem. A more frequent issue could be poor fabrication of the feed lips or the spring. And due to use the spring can wear and need replacement. Mis shaped feed lips will do many things and none of them are good for proper functioning of the magazine. I buy magazine springs from Wolff Springs but there are lots of places to get them and they are inexpensive. I’d replace the springs for sure. And make sure the spring and follower move freely. Unless you’re really talented with thin sheet metal I suggest leaving the feed lips alone. I have various metal dies for shaping magazine feed lips but unfortunately not one for your pistol. [/QUOTE]
