Failure to feed question

We just recently came across another batch of mags that were sold as "unissues factory mags" but were not ... what mags were you using, OP?

I bought two of these "mfg CZ" mags but have not tried them yet as my 82 is at Mahovsky's getting refinished.  I can tell you that there is no way these are CZ made mags.  I would compare them to Harbor Freight "kinda looks like the real thing".  I did load these mags and tried to strip them with my thumb which didn't work.  the edge of the brass catches on the mag, push harder and the edge of the mag acts like an ejector pushing the bullet to pop up and point almost straight up.  I can't verify yet what happens in the gun but I don't have any other mags that I can't easily strip by hand.  Well see when my 82 gets back...

On a related note, when I took my NRA classes, we got to the part where FTF, FTE, and stove pipes were simulated. During this section, two different shooters had actual failures of some kind! I thought it was kind of funny how much trouble the instructor had with my P-01 trying to simulate these failures. The stove pipe was particularly difficult, considering the rather small ejection port and design of the pistol compared to all the plastic guns everyone else was shooting...

Make up your mind. Are you a Badger or a Gopher?   

With football season rapidly approaching, I had to give you some grief, even though I cringed when doing so meant defending the honor of the Golden Goopher state.  I did reside there for one year during my infancy, but I was raised in Badger Land and graduated from what I tell my fellow Washington state residents is the Real UW.


You and BA are lucky -- your Hoosiers don't play the Badgers this year.  We do invade your state on 11-8 to pummel the Boilermakers, though.

You and our son-in-law would be buds - he's a 2001 UW-M graduate, and they currently live in the "big city" of Waunakee.

My alibi on football is that I'm a Notre Dame fan!

Best of luck to the Badgers when they visit West LaFayette. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"

Magazines (in various calibers) marked "CZ mfg" or "mfg CZ" are not - repeat, are not - ?esk? Zbrojovka products. They are some kind of after-market junk made in China or Outer Mongolia or Uzbekistan or West Virginia or some such place. They are 99.44% crap!
