With the slide stop inserted with the slide still off does the lobe on the slide stop seem to engage well with the hold open shelf on the follower of the magazine or is it only catching the very edge and binding the magazine follower sideways? With an empty magazine being inserted where do you encounter your first resistance? Is it where the magazine passes through the trigger bow or not until the magazine catch is being pushed down by the passage of the magazine prior to snapping into place? Do you see bright shiny spots on the magazine tube indicating the interference point? Your mag catch also may have a burr on it and need a bit of polishing your old magazines may just of already worn in at the interference spot. Also check it with a loaded magazine to ensure the top round isn't striking the underside of the ejector also. Make sure no part of the magazine feed lips is striking the bottom of the ejector by inserting the magazine into the frame and looking for clearance.

However, the empty magazine not dropping free with the slide locked open is not acceptable.ДЇield strip your pistol and check a couple things. After years of 1911 use I never push the slide stop down on an empty magazine I subconsciously either remove it or do the pinky hold if I want to retain it in the pistol. However, the button is easily pressed down when the newer mags are loaded, and in the pistol while the slide is locked backward.Дepressing the slide stop while an empty magazine is in the pistol is not really normal operation and can be avoided by simply removing the magazine while handling (better safety practice anyway) or dropping the magazine slightly and retaining it with your pinky finger in the pistol while slowly releasing the slide after depressing the stop. (5) The slide release button is nearly impossible to press down, to release the open slide when the two newer empty mags are in the pistol. (4) The mag release button is easy to press when the two newer mags are in (empty) the pistol and the slide is locked open. (3) The mag release button is very difficult to press when the two newer mags are in the pistol while the mags are empty and the slide is closed (2) The two newer mags are a little difficult to insert and a little more difficult snapping into place while mags are empty (this doesn't happen with the two original mags) Perhaps the follower or the spring is binding. Who makes the other mags? Have you tried to load rounds into them? It is not very often in a self defense situation that it becomes important to release the slide on an empty magazine. On many of my mags that are hard to get in and out, they run like a champ when actually firing. Have you tried pulling back slight on the slide to relieve the recoil spring pressure while pushing down on the slide catch? That is one way to asses the magazine spring/follower to slide catch interaction. I have several 1911's that I have to drop the mag down a bit to easily release the slide on an empty magazine.

That, combined with a full strength/new recoil spring pushing forward on the slide can make it very difficult to release the slide catch lever with an empty round in place. It is not uncommon for magazines with strong springs to cause a lot of pressure on the slide release catch/lever when empty.

How far in do the mags go before you have to 'push hard' to get them to latch? Is this empty or fully loaded?
