V-Bob issues

[safari71]

Hello all
Has anyone had any issues with the v-bob? I hope mine will go away with a few hundred more rounds. FTF last round and early lock back from time to time.

After using 47D's,tripps and chip m's mabey 7 rounders are the way to go. I have the best luck with the factory checkmates

V-bob issues: Factory Checkmate Mags with the "Dimple" on the follower cured my issues. Be sure you are not limp wristing the gun too. Just saying

ditto on the "try different mags". I have used Wilson, Novak, CMC Powermags, KimPro.... and I've got to say that while these companies gladly took my money... their mags are no better than what I got from this guy.

These are no name, OEM magazines that simply work. I think that there are probably 3 or 4 metal stampers out there that make mags for the big boys, who pay to have their "brand" stamped on the bottom plate. I've bought mags from Joe's in 45 and 9mm. Haven't had a failure yet in well over a thousand rounds. The real value is when you buy mags in bulk. Seriously... give these a try. You won't be disappointed.

Last round FTF is most often mag related.

Premature slide lock is most often an issue with the inner lug of the slide stop, but can be a result of too much lateral play from a narrow mag follower.
