Good informative video.
I'm just kind of wondering, what, if any difference 9mm vs .45 makes as far as pertains to the video.
Perhaps @HiltonYam will chime in.

Thanks for the thread here. I do my best to stop by, but I'm stretched thin between answer stuff on email, FB, IG, YouTube etc.

The video applies to any 1911 mag regardless of caliber. I think 9mm single stack mags are an even bigger headache as there are many designs - spacers, no spacers with front tube crimp and integral feed ramp, etc etc. It's easy to get a 9mm mag that simply shuts down with JHP, which is a bigger litmus than shooting ball ammo. Other than them maybe just not working at with your gun/ammo, all the other inspection issues pertain to the 9mm.

Thanks for that answer! I was actually expecting the opposite in your response, so I certainly learned something this morning.
I appreciate all you do over at 10-8, and thank you for your participation here.

I'm gonna head over to 10-8 and "pay my tuition" now.
