Guys,

I had a similar experience with my 9 mm Colt 1911. I was having double feeds and lots of crazy malfunctions with one magazine. Also, sometimes the slide wouldn't lock back when empty with that magazine. Lots of examination showed that the top round in that magazine had a lot of side play at the nose while there was very little side movement in other magazines. I squeezed the top front of this magazine with pliers until it was very snug against the follower. This eliminated the side play in the top round and resulted in perfect function for the last few hundred rounds.
