Just shot my STI Ranger II .45 for the first time

Nice pistol! I had the same problem with a few new Chip mags being too tight, but they went away after some use.

Nice grips you got there. Where did you get em?

 

[agilent_one]

Green canvas micarta from VZgrips. They're not as slim as the stock grips however...

Thanks!

TheCanuck I only drink Smirnoff Ice so ... lol

I just got a Para Ord. P16-40 Limited tuned for IPSC, what a nice gun compared to my CZ75b..

The first time I shot a pistol, it whas at CTVSP with a member there that let me shoot his full size Para .45, I made a target with one 1" hole in 9 shots with 1 flyer.

Maybe it's the Chip McCormick mags, but I doubt it.

I wouldn't be surprised if mags were the problem. One thing that sucks about 1911s is that there are so many manufacturers of both pistols and magazines that you frequently get compatibility problems.

If it works fine with regular 7/8 round mags, I wouldn't be terribly concerned.

Yeah it seems to be the mags.

I'll probably try to get some Wilson Combat 10rounders to see how they work in my gun.
