No hair splitting, and you probably are liking your Checkmate hybrid magazines (currently, as suppliers change) with what you shoot in what.

And was not picking on you, but only making an informational point, as many folk do not know the magazines with ANY gun likely outsourced. And that there may be better choices for that gun and ammo combination, and just as high a quality, and even same maker (such as Checkmate currently makes all three types).

People often treat symptoms rather than disease in the 1911, what they do seems to cure a problem, sometimes for good, and they think they found the cure to the disease, and proudly post of same. An example would be my 1911 choking with hybrid magazines and ball. I COULD have swapped to a heavier recoil spring and "solved" the problem of round squirting too far forward by lessening rearward slide velocity and impact. But also would have taken the gun out of perfectly good spec, increased forward slide velocity, and may have introduced other problems such as now needing a stronger magazine spring to get round up fast enough to be caught by faster returning slide, which then may have caused etc etc etc.

When all along, all it would take is the proper magazine for ammo.
