Good exercise in clearing a malfunction when out plinking, but I have now run into a serious issue. My son and daughter have joined the Scholastic Action Shooting Program and one of the classes is .22 pistol. So, I need to find 6 absolutely reliable magazines for them to use the pistol in competition. I see there are several out there, some metal and some polymer like the Kimber brand. I did pull the mags apart and cleaned them, did not use any lube or anything on them as I was told they should be dry. The original probably has 300 rounds through it and the newer one has maybe 200. I know it is the mag because you can see the round sitting low in the mag on a fail to feed. If you tap the mag pretty hard a couple times it helps, but not enough to be reliable in the competition.

So, anyone have advice on reliable mags for the .22 conversion?

Next year they will shoot in the 1911 class as well. For now just iron .22 rifle and iron .22 pistol.

Great guys and do awesome work. They make the mags for the Marvel Precision 22 uppers conversions for the 1911s. They run $26 for the poly. They also make the match Marvel upper slides which are top notch quality. I think they made the conversion slides for Kimber. Dont confuse these with the old Bob Marvel stuff. FCW does a lot of work in the competition and Bullseye world.

I have a few of them and they never fail, never misfeed. I have run the polys in both Kimber and Springfield 1911's.
