    I put 160 rounds through it yesterday. I didn't have any malfunctions that looked like that. Mine looked like this. 3 fails to feed View attachment 215359 , all on the last round in the mag. Probably just needs more breaking in.


    In that case check the mags.

    I had a similar problem with some SA mags. The problem was a small burr on the mag that was just enough to prevent the follower from moving all of the way up. Honing/filing the inside of the mag quickly solved the problem. (And I do mean “small” burr.)

    7 or 8 round mags and who made them? also check under the extractor make sure no crap is there
    8 round MecGar mags. I've disassembled all 3 and cleaned the factory junk out. Behind the extractor was clear. The mag springs feel kinda light to me. It was doing the same thing with snap caps before I went to the range. Cycling by hand, the last round would hang up. Not every time, but most of the time. It only happened 3 times with 160 rounds of live ammo tho.

    It definitely seems like a mag problem to me. Gonna try replacing the springs and follower with WC springs and followers.

    I have around 5 Springfield mags, I like them a lot.

    everything else is colt 8 rounders in stainless, I have some times had failure to lock on empty with the colt mags. That’s not a big deal to me, it’s happened with the same mags on 3 different 1911’s.
