Was qualifying today for the Idaho Enhanced Carry Permit. The qualification consists of a state-mandated 98 rounds shot. I was using my Colt Defender which I purchased in January. I've got about 700 rounds through it so far.
During the shoot, I was consistently having problems with the last round in the factory magazines I got with the gun. Sometimes it would feed in a vertical, other times it would only half-feed and jam between the slide and the frame.
This problem was restricted to the last round in the magazine. It would happen about every other load. I was thinking it might be due to limp-wristing, but my grip felt pretty consistent throughout (high and tight), and my hits didn't indicate any variation - that is, I wasn't missing like I would if I was relaxing.
My thought is that the factory mags from Colt aren't holding up. They don't appear to be user serviceable. I'm thinking of replacing them with Wilson Combat versions that I can take a apart and clean occasionally.
Thoughts?
