Not to steal the thread, buy I've actually had this problem--in spades. It was with Erma's .22 caliber KGP 69. In my case, however, the problem manifest by exclusively involving factory original mags. I can't remember if any combo actually fell out, but the mags that were too big in relation to a particular gun's mag well couldn't even be started in.

I broke it down into three gradations--large, medium, and small--by trying every mag in every gun and noting the results. Then I basically did what Randall is doing, just keeping track of which ones fit best in each gun by labeling with a marker.
