Phil,
Thanks for taking the time to contribute. FWIW, I did my homework prior to purchasing and reading this forum was well aware of the potential for cycling issues with a limp wrist shooting style. I consciously ensured my grip was tight with a ridgid, straight arm to prevent this phenomena. Additionally, I'm positive i wasn't contacting the slide while shooting.
Borrowing my brother's mags would be a logical next step, however, I'm in Tulsa and he's in Harrisburg. Too far to make this happen without mailing back and forth. Not impossible but a bit difficult/inconvenient. I called him and had him
disassemble his clips and count his coils. FWIW, his mags all have 12 coil springs in them.
I'm thinking of installing the "extra" 10 coil springs in the clips and see what happens.
Rick
