Good to know Jim. It seems mag behavior varies greatly between different gun makes and models. What works in some 1911s does not work on others, regardless of how much $$$ the 1911 cost. Someone on youtube suggested to find the brand that works for your gun and stick to that. At the range I had zero failure to feed and the slide locked back every time with the original 7rd Springfield mag and the 10rd CMC. I'll test the WC47D this week once I get it.

I will keep a watchful eye on the mag springs, test them often and hope that by doing this I will stay on top of any possible malfunctions they could experience.
