I am breaking in a 1966 Colt Government that had never been fired so we are talking a very tight gun here.
I bought a couple of the Wilson mags and when loaded with eight I get a lot of resistance when I try to insert them into the gun. I don't try to force it. I have left them loaded with 8 rounds for a couple of months just to see if it might be a spring issue, but no noticeable change.
I get a little resistance with the factory mag. If I load the Wilson with 7, it feels like the factory mag but will insert. No feeding issues or anything like that with either mag.
Being new to the 1911 I am wondering if this will work itself out as the gun loosens up or if I should just stick with loading 7 which is fine with me.
The only time I had ever fired a Colt Government was when I was in Army Infantry school 45 years ago but I have to admit, I am hooked.
