I've got two Beretta 17 round magazines defective from the factory that will lock the slide back prematurely sometimes with rounds too close to the slide stop.
I've thought of emailing Beretta, and I've thought there was no way I could sell them on the EE, but now I know I can sell them as OEM Beretta Malfunction drill magazines. And they're better than yours as it's a random round that locks the slide back. |

Or just randomly load a snap cap in the mag? Some people tend to worry about mixing live and dummy ammo. Just an option for some or as some say, another tool in the tool box. These are my dummy rounds. Unless I'm loading in the dark. I think I'll be ok. 
But as you say. Anything that makes you better and works for you. Good.

I just made my pistol feed empty cases without a hitch. Like a revolver, I can skip load for both misfire clearance and flinch detection. Load magazines with different combinations of live and empties, and pick up the mags at random.
I can now only make it stovepipe or otherwise jam by loading very light loads and limp wristing. Its a Colt 1911 in .45 ACP. |

They make bright orange dummy rounds or just coat your own. I would be more worried if modified magazines would get mixed in ? |

Quoted: I shoot Glocks, and therefore do not find it necessary.  I had to swap out my -02 mags for -03 mags, as it would randomly lock the slide back, with several rounds still in the mag. It was indeed a pretty good training tool. |

Weekly Uspsa shooter here... theres not a match that goes by that I don't have a stovepipe or other malfunction.. we get good at clearing jams and such. Who the hell loads your ammo?
No kidding. I'm a USPSA shooter too and the only malfunction I get is when I choke on a reload and fail to fully seat a mag. If my gun chokes routinely I'm going to find out why and fix it. |

Yeah... in 20 or so KSTG matches, my Glock 19 or S&W 5906 maybe had one or two jams each and one of those was the ammo being bad and caused jams in several other peoples guns too. |

I also have not cleaned my G23 in a year and a half. so a jam here and there isnt that bad considering. |

Well, we did this in po-po academy.
We would load mags with a mix of empty shells with live rounds. Then, we would put one into our pocket and two in our mag pouches. Then, we would get on the line. Insert the mag from our pocket, Rack the slide. Then, wait for one of the instructors to yell contact. We would start shooting and then when a blank shell got into the chamber, we would yell out, kneel, go through the motions of a clearing malfunction. We would rack the slide to clear the breech, go back to firing, if it is empty, drop the mag and load another magazine, rack the slide, yell IN, then start firing again. Eventually, we would get another blank shell and repeat the same malfunction clearing procedures. Blah blah blah, and do the same with the third magazine.. |

Someone might (not) get shot with it. |

Someone might (not) get shot with it. Who's we and why can't we do B&D? Did some tard load a mag with B&D and then take it off the range and put it in his duty gear? |
