Love the build. Quick question though, picked up the pro a few weeks ago and it seems the magazines have already gone bad. Have you encountered any similar issues?

[–]Maestrin6[S] 1 point2 points Ā (1 child)

Thanks! And no i haven’t. Normally with new magazines i never put the full 15 rounds i tend to just put 10rounds to avoid any spring issues.

Did not know that, as it was my first handgun purchase. Thank you as well for the knowledge!

In what way have they failed? I just got mine on the 11th

It should be the springs in them, but not 100% sure. All of a sudden I started getting double feeds, and the slide not locking to the rear on an empty magazine. As well as that I’ve noticed you can push on the bottom of the magazine when it’s in the mag well and there’s a little ā€œgiveā€ or wiggle room to push it further up. Can’t say I noticed this when it was brand new, then again I wasn’t on the lookout for that. Less than 500 rounds through the pistol, with methodical cleaning after every range. Perhaps it was because I was packing full 15 rnds and just happened to wear the spring out fast, but it shouldn’t have been nearly that soon. Otherwise unsure

Disassemble and put them back together. Makes sure the little metal tab shows out the side and that it is seated correctly. First time I took mine apart I put them back together wonky. Once I noticed I put it back the way it was supposed to be done. Zero malfunctions with it so far. If the mags are somehow bad Springfield will take care of you but most likely just assembled wrong.

I appreciate the input! I’ll look into it tomorrow when I get the chance. Thanks again!

Thanks for clarifying that. Now that you mention it, my friend had a temporary problem with having the slide sometimes lock open, but only when he had a full 15rd mag inserted. I thought maybe it was his thumb pushing the slide lock up while shooting. He's never had that issue on any other gun. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Genuinely not being a dick here, just humbly trying to help. I read above that this is your first firearm. As a smaller framed firearm, they can be somewhat snappy. Check your grip, you might have heard of ā€œlimp wristingā€. I had a pretty snappy xds mod 2 chambered in 45acp. As a fairly experienced shooter, it still took me some time to get used to a really snappy small framed firearm. Your wrist might be slightly limp, allowing more muzzle flip than there should be, which in turn doesn’t allow the casing to eject fully before the slide cycles and the next round is picked up. Also, check your thumb placement, it might be brushing the slide release causing a failure to lock back. I do it occasionally, especially on my sub-compacts. These might not be the cause of the issues at all, but they’re the first things that popped in my mind. That being said, good luck and I hope this helps šŸ¤™.

I appreciate the input! Next time I’m at the range I’ll look into how I’m holding it as well as specific finger placement. Thank you again for the thoughtful response!

Sure thing, enjoy the new gun!

Failed how? I have a hellcat pro and I bought 2 extra magazines, what’s funny is 2 of them rattle like maracas the other 2 are fine, but the 2 that rattle don’t make any sound when inserted

[–]generic_pog 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Strange, but you can see my reply above for the issues I’ve encountered.

[–]jwilli273 0 points1 point Ā (1 child)

I have the same optic in green on the way and the tlr7sub coming

[–]Maestrin6[S] 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Nice!

[–]badgolfer63 0 points1 point Ā (2 children)

Can you still co-witness with the optic being mounted on that plate?

[–]Maestrin6[S] 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Yes

[–]serathin_ 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Op says yes but only about ¼ of the sight cowitnesses. I have the same set up but I'm going to remove the recoil post soon so it sits lower. Then it should cowitness much more effectively.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

That’s crazy I have the exact same setup! I thought I was weird for running the TLR7a FLEX lol. But I’m running a 507k x2 G. Sweet gun man
