WWB comes in at least a couple different grains for each caliber. The problem persists even when using the higher power or equal power of WWB versus something else that's "better?"

sorry, can't say as far as the cheaper stuff goes. I've only ever used 115gr FMJ WWB, so I don't know if any of the other stuff is better. I mostly reload. However, at least one forum indicated that WWB JHP 'personal protection' ammunition was good, but I can neither confirm or deny. I *think* there is a WWB '9mm NATO' load (124gr) available in WWB; that may be fine.


I carry Winchester 180gr 40 S&W Bonded; it comes in a white box, but its a completely different animal :-)

I guess I missed it when WWB become low quality. I know it's not good quality defense ammo, but I thought it was pretty good range ammo and haven't had any problems with it.

depends on the gun. I wouldn't say its low quality but for some guns it may not be powerful enough to reliably cycle.
If I have to buy 9mm factory (CHL test, for example) I will usually go with Federal American Eagle FMJ.

Will any 7 round 1911 mag work

possibly. I recommend looking at one of these (in no particular order):

, I don't "bury them in the mud" or "run over them with a truck".

that's what glocks are for :-)

Many 1911 pistols come from the factory with junk mags. Get a Tripp, Wilson, CMC, or MecGar magazine and see if that fixes the problem.

agreed. For 9mm 1911s, I recommend MetalFrom (OEM for Springfield 9mm 1911 mags).

A certain manufacturer of 1911 pistols is notorious for poor mag quality. I'm not naming them but their name rimes with timber.

I'll name them: KIMBER. I had a couple of brand new Kimber Pro mags (45acp) that were terribly unreliable until I replaced the springs.
After that they were fine.

Last round is your clue. Weak magazine spring trying to push the rim of the last round up under a strong extractor.

there you go.
Always listen to Andy :-)
