    Worked on a couple of them, they are very magazine and ammo sensitive. Only would work reliably with Mini-Mag solids.

    To the get the magazines to feed I filed a radius on the front of the mag so that the nose of the bullet had a better chance of feeding up the ramp into the chamber.

    One of the problems is that most of the pistol is made of Zinc,( potmetal), die castings. I was afraid to try to change the angle on the ramp because of this. One of the mags was so screwed up the only way I could get it to feed at all was to take it apart and remove the follower button.
