As I pondered my Delta Elite's magazine woes...
http://www.pistolsmith.com/viewtopic.ph ... &forum=8&6
... I wondered what magazines gunsmiths provide with their custom 10mm handguns? I assume whatever y'all use must work, otherwise what would be the point of selling a $2000+ pistol that isn't reliable with the magazines?
I'm fairly confident my problem is the magazines because:
A) With Shooting Star 9-round magazines, they work 100% perfect... if loaded to 8 rounds. With 9 rounds, they flunk on the top round in the magazine about half the time.
B) With Metalform 9-round magazines, they work (and don't work) exactly the same way as the Shooting Stars, with the added problem of locking back the slide with the last round still in the magazine EVERY TIME (something that never happens with the Shooting Stars).
C) With the 1 stock Colt 8-round magazine I had, the spring was obviously shot and caused malfunctions all the time.
D) Ammo used (JHPs, FMJ, cast handloads) have NO effect on what causes a malfunction.
So what should I do? Is there a better option than just use the 9-rounders as 8 rounders? Will new Colt 8-rounders not suck? Will ANYTHING not suck in my gun?
Many thanks for any insights you can provide.
