Has anyone had the feed ramp polished by a gunsmith/ yourself?  This might make a difference in the "misfeed" of the second round when carry mag to capacity.  I know my Ed Brown behaved much better after I had her polished.

And it really made a difference in my Kahr P380 also.

I polished the feed ramp on my pup and on all my other pistols.
  A word of caution, if you don't know anything about polishing do not attempt this with power tools or use sandpaper. It's possible to change the contour of the feed ramp and then it would be a trip to the factory for repairs or a barrel replacement. :'(

The key word here is "polish".

You do NOT want to remove any metal, unless burrs.

An Eddie Brown!!! ?

WOW !

Was it used ?

If new that just does not sound right at all.  Unless it was just one of those that slipped through the cracks.  But that is a  major deal for someone like his org.

Was new when I got her.  I had no issues with quality mags, but when I was at my brothers house and we went shooting, I just grabbed a couple of his mags.  Not sure what brand, but I was getting some fail to feed problems with them.  Polished the feed ramp with some real fine grit paper and problem went away.  Never had a problem since with any mags.
