    Is Browning ever going to fix the 380 mags, I don't want to spend 800 dollars on the 380 only to find out the mags don't work half the time!

    I've got two Browning 1911-380s.
    It's easy enough to adjust the mags to work properly.

    As an aside, I just ordered two more 1911-380 mags from Midway.
    I'll let you know if I have to do anything to them to make them dependable.

    They came today.
    I disassembled them, polished the followers with 2000 grit sandpaper, rubbed in some half nanometer Boron Nitride powder, did a couple other cleanups, and reassembled them.
    They seem to be working OK.

    I ordered a 10-round ProMag for the 1911-380.

    It required some work on the top of the mag to make it function correctly, but is doing OK now.
