Hand-cycling mags is not an accurate way to check them. Test fire each mag, fully loaded, at least five times. If you have any malfunctions, THEN think about modifications.
In this old Luger I almost don't want to run a loaded mag through my pistol with this magazine hang. Heck I don't
want to have it rip a round apart or break something.

If you are shooting with these mec-gars, do you encounter
this type of hang? Anyone? This isn't proper.

Well I was going to see if I could modify them or return
them and try to find something else, what, I don't know.
Something isn't quite right with these mags and I'm not
sure what it is.

I've been shooting MecGars for years and never experienced these problems. Ammo used is S&B and Winchester.
I have some Olympic FMJ 9mm ammo at 115. Nothing fancy
just lookes like all the other ball ammo out there. When
I measured the length of the rounds it was 1.153 inches.
The seam is standard, where the bullet and case meet
is standard to the thin side, which is even more surprising
considering the stopping.

Don't worry, nothing is jammed in. I baby this thing. I just wish
I had the luger tool also. I'll have to buy one some where.
