If it was a magazine issue that made them not run, probably.Originally Posted by theJanitor
The new mags are designed around a 9mm size and length cartridge, where the old ones were designed around the .40 length cartridge. The old mags use a spacer to make up the length difference. Any little bit of debris between the follower and spacer will result in a stuck/slow follower and they just don't work super well when they get dirty. As a result folks use lots of spring pressure to overcome this, causing the follower to jump the feed lips, and thus needing the feed lips to be tuned.
The new mags eliminated the spacer, redesigned the feed lips, and use a longer-skirt follower inside a polished mag body thus providing more consistent feeding etc.
If you "tune" the Gen 1 mags properly and don't try to spring them to get extra capacity, they work fine for competition, range, and training use, but I wouldn't trust them for duty/carry use. I only carry my gun with Gen2 mags which have been 100%. My Gen1s are all between 90-99% which isn't good enough for carry.
Anyone know if they will make their gen 2 mags in 10 rounds capacity?
They also changed the multi line indent to a broad indent. The ribbed indents was one of the reasons a spacer was needed. The old SV mags don’t need a spacer, and what I have for my open gun.
2011 EDC guns are apparently the new hotness.

I sight picture, 2 trigger pulls. .18 split. This gun is ridiculous
I have not left my gun as it arrived.
Out of the box the trigger was 3.4lbs. In a thousand rounds it had dropped to 2lbs 7oz.
Rather than just tweek the sear spring I decided to have a local master Smith do all the internals with Wilson bullet proof parts. Along with it I added the x-line vario short trigger from atlas gun works.
After it was adjusted I had a 3lb 9oz trigger with slightly more pretravel (my preference) and crips break.
We also broke some of the edges, removed the magwell, added a Dawson mag lock and aluminum mainspring housing.
I’m very happy with it and the short trigger is perfect.
I plan to put 1k rounds through it in one day or 2 soon.
Only one metric is missing!

If you decided to leave a target early this thing would keep you in the A zone

I was praying it was not 27 meters, or this thread would have gotten very expensive.
