Thank you for responding.

Mr Watson the Wilson Mags are ETM 10 capacity 9MM, the Springfields are SS supposed to be their best. There shouldn't be a spring problem with new mags. But stranger things happen.

I live about about 30 miles East of Knoxville, Tn. off Hwy 11E.

Not new to pistols and weapons, but new to IDPA & USPSA matches at age 73. Have 2 grandsons who shoot and I want to give them a chance to learn safety and self defence.

Mr Murphy, Just My Opinion, in the last 100 years there's lots of advancements/improvements in metals/alloys/heat treatment/engineering/Cad systems and etc. Why should one have to suffer thru the anguish & expense of a pistol that is sensitive to ammo, springs, feed angles, bad engineering and poor management.

But I suppose we like the feel and handling of the dammnnn things and get POed and spend more money and move on.
