i generally carry a spare mag "just in case"... 12+1 should be enough but ide be a sucker if i needed 14... bla bla bla
anyways i went to the range a few weeks ago, dropped the mag out of my gun and started stripping off rounds (hp) to load it up with FMJ... first 2 popped out then 3 or 4 fell out... i had a WTF moment and checked to find the follower had bound up in the mag... i strip my mags down and clean them after every range trip but malfunctions can still happen i guess... i have since retired the mag to a "range only" mag and carry new ones. |

I have dedicated carry mags and dedicated range mags. The carry mags have been tested enough that I know they work, but are not even close to being worn, and are now seldom unloaded. I'll have to use them when I change out the carry ammo for fresher rounds, but that's it. The range mags are cheap Korean KCI mags. When I have enough money and time to take up competition and classes, I'll use dedicated factory mags for that.
It's good to have gear for specific purposes. |

Were you able to tell what caused the malfunction or do you think it was just a fluke? |
