Correction in my last. 2023 is more probable

I don't think you're SOL with the current generation of mags but the magazine springs aren't going to last forever. They need a better spring. Guys like Noner also have a stack of mags and know that an issue was magazine related instead of blaming the gun. Personally, I run MBX mags for things that matter and STI mags for everything else.

This is news to me. All I shoot is 147gr Lawman for practice and in new mags I had a couple of misfeeds. Can the Staccato mag springs just be swapped out for the MBX? I'm not a big fan of the grip, but it's not terrible - do you know if you can buy the Gen 1 grip and install it on the new Staccato Ps?

You can swap the grips around.

Another thing though. Springs have been the bane of 2011s for like how long now?

Why are they not putting the stiffest springs possible even if that means reducing capacity to say 15 rounds in 126mm for example. Seems like a fair trade for guns that run better.

Can you stuff a 155 or 170 spring in a 126 mag body? Lol

Are the trigger and mag catch interchangeable? I see on Extreme Shooters that you have to buy a Gen 1 mag catch and the trigger or frame may need some filing for it to fit.

Trigger is the same as any other but it’s probably best practice to fit a new one.

Mag catch needs to be gen1

If anyone has a line on Flat double stack triggers of good quality lemme know please.

I'm not going to write off a dude for some humor.

I too enjoy 147gr lawman (I have about 14k through my gun). You should be able to get Staccato mag springs from Dawson rather than trying to fit an MBX spring in the gun. Most competitors replace springs yearly. Not the worst burden to bear: I'd change out springs when I change out my optic battery.
Yes you can install a Gen 1 grip on a newer gun but the magazine release is different.
