First, hi everyone! I just joined.
I have a few magazines with some experince and was looking for a thread like this for answers and my own input.
I have Tripp Cobras (9 and 10 rounders), factory Nighthawk (Chip McCormick) 9 rounders and the two factory Colt (Metalforms).
At the range shooting all three of my 10mm pistols a few days ago the Tripp 10 rounders failed to load the first round on all my pistols on closing the slide with Sig's truncated cone ammunition. I had to download them to get the first round to not submarine and seize up the slide. The 9 round Tripps worked fine in my Nighthawks. The Delta Elite was giving me fits with them until about 100 rounds in and it seemed to leave it's chambering problems behind. I also used Remington FMJ and it gave all three guns hiccups but especially the Delta Elite. It would fail to fully extract and I'd have to hand cycle the slide to get the spent round to eject and chamber the next one. But that is ammo not magazine.
The factory Nighthawk and Colt magazines worked fine in all three pistols. I was really disappointed that the (3) 10 round Tripps performed so poorly as I bought them to cut down on reloading at the range and they failed at that. I'm glad that I know the Chip McCormicks and Metalforms are solid. I plan to buy one Wilson 10mm to see how it does and more Chip McCormicks and Metalforms.
I also plan to give the .45 magazines I have a try. I may not carry them for self defense but I have so many that I could load all my mags once and shoot without spending time reloading.
Did I mention I love 10mm?
