    Cool Issues w/DW VBOB mags

    First range trip for my new VBOB and the DW mags didn't always lock the slide back when the mag became empty. It happened about every other time and there are two of them.
    I took along four Wilson 47D's and they ran perfect, no problem. Has any one else had this happen?

    The gun itself went bang every single time I pulled the trigger, 144 times to be exact. Flawless.

    I don't know if they still are, but they were using checkmate mags (labled DW). I would personally sell the dw's and run wilsons or tripp's.

    That's what I was afraid of, thanks. They are checkmate mags.

    FYI, I bought three Tripps and they work flawlessly.

    Yep, cheap mags. Tripp's are much better.
