Haven't been shooting in a while, but I do keep the mag loaded. Can the pressure on the spring from being loaded cause this?
What is that piece called anyway? Wonder if I can just order one somewhere.
This is the original mag I got with this pistol. Are there better mags to go with?

It will accept any compact 1911 mags.

Is it really shorter than a standard mag?

Yes, think Colt Officer's size frame.

Wilson 47d's are the gold standard for 1911 mags. I get rid of factory mags immediately and always go with Wilson's.

Breaking a basepad isn't uncommon. Not all basepads will fit your mag or your pistol if you use a magwell.

Funny... I've found Wilsons that won't latch in many Colt's and Kimber's. I use old Randle and factory Colt/Kimber magazines in every 1911 I shoot.

Get a Pearce extension and put on there. About $5-ish plus a couple bucks for shipping. I put Pearce extensions on all my semi's.....
You should have responded sooner, because that would have been perfect for me.
I ordered an aluminum one off ebay, per wildmans suggestion. It was $17, but it won't break for sure.
