Failure to feed; PM9 7 round mag only

Wow, James, now they know who you are and where you live!

Welcome to the forum!

Figured it out. It was a setting on the Tapatalk Iphone app I was using to access the forum.

OldLincoln, I had good luck with the Wolff +5% mag springs too. In my PM9 I was having a couple of FTF, but mostly would not lock the slide back when empty. The Wolff springs have the 7 rounders working 100% with standard ammo.

Well, Doc's mag is ready to go back. It's performing flawlessly in my PM9 with both reloads and HST+P rounds. I tightened it up and the rounds have less wiggle room on them and polished it just because I don't have anything else to polish. I'm not convinced I really fixed anything as it's isn't like a burned out bulb. The mag spring felt wimpy so I put in a spare new Wolf +5 which feels better. I ran 70 rds of reloads and 7 HST +P with nary a hickup. I did not mess with the follower other than clean it with the rest of the mag. Will go out tomorrow.

I wanted to get my hands on a misbehaving 7rd to see if it was something I could identify. Other than being a little loose and not even that muchI don't know for sure. If this works right in Doc's gun I'll say to those who have a problem 7rd mag to put in a Wolf +5% spring. If 10 folks do that and they all work I'd say that is likely the cause.

I'm looking forward to trying it at the range. My wife has been complaining about all of the ammo boxes in the closet so the solution seems obvious. Also an excuse to bug the range/store owner about my order for my first Glock: A blue box G21 Gen4. I love my PM 9, but that full sized .45 is a pleasure at the range.

O.L.. thanks for all your help.

I have run trhe wolffs 5% plus springs in my 6 round mags since I got the gun, never tried it witht he 7 round mags but IMO it cannot hurt a thing. I notice no more energy used to load the magazine either. 5% is not alot,but in my little mind my thoughts were that on that last round, the mag spring is about at its espanced length and any extrta pwoer at that postiojn can certainly hep push that magazine follower up a tad faster to get good slide lock. Works for me and probably would even with the standard mag springs but I erred on the side of caution and went with the 5% extra..

I bought a couple of extra mags and put pearce extensions on them. So I now have 4...the original flat bottom 6, the 7, and two sixes with extensions
The 7 round has a second round fail to feed about 1 out of 5 with Lawman 124 which I favor for practice since carry round is Gold dot short barrel.
Carry mags are the ones with extensions. I use the others on the range so I shoot a box with one reload
