Thanks Rick - I wasn't aware of the potential issue with a divot in the chamber - makes sense, and with these being older guns, I'll have to give the chamber a close look - what you've described is exactly what I was seeing with the old magazines, in addition to other problems - with the new mags the rounds appear to chamber correctly - I'll have to see how it goes with live fire this weekend.

One thing with these new mags - they lock in nice and tight - the older mags fit loose and I had constant problems with them falling out - if I made it a point to hold them in securely while I was firing, the gun cycled noticably better - so, I'm thinking that the new mags should give far superior performance when I get the guns out to the range.

Thanks again for the tip on the divit - I'm gonna check for that, too, before I head out to the range.
