| I discovered the problem with my TRP. Based on responses I received here on ARFCOM, this is very common with TRP's. Someone here (SGB maybe?) suggested Tripp Cobra mags and/or Tripp Super 7 kits for the Wilson's. I took the advice and no more problems. The Super 7 kits do reduce your Wilsons to 7 rounds though. But, the followers in the Super 7 kits are superior. |

All the time, in SA Operator, GI, Kimber TCII, Wilson CQB and Baer TRS, even after adding extra power springs. I only use 7-round Wilson mags now with 0 failures of any kind

I have found that all of the WC mags - 47's, 47D's, and ETM's - seem to have inferior springs from the factory. They never seem very strong and tend to wear out quickly.
I've been meaning to get some Cobramags to try, but since you pretty much have to order direct from Tripp, I haven't gotten around to it. (Most all of my "try one" purchases are done as an addendum to a much larger order to one of the big firearms parts distributors.) |
