Very weak follower
I bought these in addition to the factory Ruger magazines. They shoot fine with ball ammo, but I experience at least one failure to feed with hollow point rounds per magazine when shooting, which never happened with the factory mags.

Don't buy these
Bought 2 of these and they both had the same issue, serious tight spot around round 3. Nearly impossible to load and caused similar malfunction with both. Shooting a captain build with kkm ramped barrel. Tied mags on a full size number and have even more issue at an IDPA match.

No, have enough.
When loading the fourth round goes in hard? But they work well. As good as the factory mags.

What else would you expect from Mec-Gar
Bought these as spares for my Llama MiniMax 9. CTD got them here in three days flat, not the seven to ten that they say! As for the mags, they now have a couple hundred rounds thru them with no hiccups. I've never had a probllem with this company's magazines, and always tell people to get Mec-Gar mags when they can. You can't go wrong, Spanish pistol, Italian magazines, Italian/USA ammo (Fiocchi)! RIP R. Lee!

Works perfectly with my 1911 9mm
If you have a full size 1911, GET THIS product. My pt 1911 by Taurus wouldn't lock back the slide sometimes and had problems with feeds with the stock magazine. This magazine works perfectly, fits snug, locks back the slide, releases with force and looks great. Highly highly recommend.

9mm 1911 Magazines
Great mags have not had any issues with feeding. Excellent quality! Work great in my Colt 9mm competition.

I purchased this magazine
I purchased this magazine for my Rock Island Armory 9mm pistol, after reading one positive report posted here on CTD. I am happy to report that the magazines I purchased are working as a magazine should - flawlessly. The OEM mag that accompanied my pistol was a Checkmate magazine, which had problems for the first (approx.) 400 rounds. It wouldn't hold 9 rounds without causing a failure to feed. After 400 rounds, it began showing improvement, but the MecGar mags worked without flaw from the first round loaded. Holds 9 rounds without any feed issues. Even looks shiny. What's not to like? Seems like a bargain when compared to other 9mm 1911 magazines.

These MecGar mags were or
These MecGar mags were ordered for my Rock Island 9pm 1911. They work perfectly. The factory mag has the last bullet somewhat nose diving at the top of the mag. The MecGar last round rides nose high and does not have any feed issues. The CTD price is very competitive and you can't beat two days from order to doorstep. Thanks CTD, I have never been disappointed.
