This is a problem that I have with McCormick power mags in my 1991A1, which has the stock Colt slide stop. I would like to find a mag follower that works or replace the slide stop.
I don't understand why the follower binds the mag to not drop or lock back. This is what baffles me. The slide will lock back on each magazine when I insert an empty magazine and rack the slide. When shooting the result is different.
I did try some ACT mags and they did drop free and locked the slide, but I have read about the cracked feed lips. I don't see anywhere to just get followers from ACT.
Another solution might be the Tripp follower and spring kit. I wonder if that follower will fit McCormick springs.
I don't know if it would be easier and less trouble to buy a different slide stop but which one? The shaft seems to be .20 dia. on the Colt slide stop.
