What's So Wrong with them? I seem to see alot of people saying they suck.
I just picked up an Ultra CDP and popped off 100 rounds and didn't have any issues.

I got about 1 year out of mine and it started to FTF.  After the slide cycled the next cartridge would nose-dive into the magazine.

I chucked all my old mags and replaced them with McCormick PowerMags and have not had a problem since.

My kimber did not feed reliably from McCormick mags......I have been using my stock kimber mag since spring of 06 with no issues.  I sold my McCormicks and replaced them with more Kimber mags.

I've had the same problem but only with the last round in the mag. I have since ordered 2 new wilson 8 round mags.

The factory mag that came with my gun is the one that I mostly have problems with.  I have a few of the Kimber 'KimPro Tac-Mags' that are pretty good.  The best mags so far are my McCormick Power Mags.  My McCormick mags have reliably fed several different bullet styles.

Perfect performance with factory mag in my Pro Raptor II purchased four months ago.  Approximately 150 rounds fired with it.  Although, my three spare mags are Wilsons.

The problem with the Kimber mags is that they do not have the removeable floor plates.  I don't understand why Kimber chose to go that route but whatever.  I shot with Kimber mags and never had a FTF.  Only problem I ever had with my Kimbers is when I fail to fully seat the mags.

People have told me that they fixed this but when I bought my Pro Eclipse II the mags that came with it were junk, failed to feed reliably but worked just enough to prolong my vain effort to fix the problem. I switched to Wilson mags and now its not a eat anything gun like my Beretta but it's definently reliable with the cartridges that it does like. I bought it about seven years ago. Wilson mags in my opinion are the best for a 1911 but pretty pricey.
