Do your mags have any drag marks or scratches on the sides?
Me neither. What I was really trying to say, was check to see if the right grip or spacer has slipped forward. BTW, if something is partially...
Check to see if the top right grip screw has loosened up. If it has and the top of your right grip or spacer has shifted forward even a tiny amount,...

"It was a challenge to get the empty magazines out," Need more information, but that right side retention screw in the mag release can cause this if...
"Mostly not, because the trigger WILL NOT PULL." This is a sure indicator that the mag release button is too far toward the left side of the gun....

I like the 85% 1911 enough that I have two 1911-380s and two .22 conversion assemblies, plus a 1911-22. Great little guns. When I want .45 acp, I'll...
