I don't know if this is the best place to ask this or not, but here goes.
I have a S&W model 411. That's a .40 cal similar to the 4006 and uses the same magazines.
I have four 11-round magazines. The gun is very reliable except with one magazine and when this particular magazine is inserted, I can usually fire a few rounds and then it is as if the magazine safety engages and the trigger is no longer effective. It just pulls all the way back like the safety is on.
Some time back I called S&W and the guy sent me a new follower which I replaced and no change. Didn't really expect one. I've compared this magazine closely with the other three, I cannot determine any difference, length, height, width, placement of holes, top opening dimensions, etc.
What to do? Any body familiar with this? I'm thinking about ignoring the recommendations against disabling the magazine safety, as this is apparently a cause of failure. Being able to fire without a magazine inserted hasn't really been much of problem after decades with a 1911.
Thanks!
