A long time ago I bought several $5 Colt-type knockoffs at a gun show. They worked when I took them to the range and fired them. I fired many, many rounds with them. Then recently I was firing and weird things started happening. The lips on one mag were spreading and causing jams when the cartridge came up too high to be fed into the chamber. Then on another one, the base plate came off. The spring sprung out and was never seen again. The follower hit the ground. It was joined by four unfired rounds.
Moral of the story: Cheap 1911 mags are the source of many problems. Throw them away. I'm getting Wilsons.
