Spyros, I've also been thinking it's the barrel protruding beyond the bushing. I measured that dimension on my 1991A1, my Sig Sauer 1911, and my Kimber Custom II. They're nearly identical to each other, and all fit perfection in the Speed Vault with all my mags. I think later today I'll unload the Springfield and measure that protrusion. Just visually it does appear more than on the other pistols.
Thinking "path of least resistance" I may buy a few top quality 7 round mags with no base pad, solely for use with the Springfield when it's in the speed vault. If memory is right Hawkmoon posted months ago about one particular Checkmate 7 round mag he liked.
As to the photo, a black pistol with black grips in a black box surrounded by white walls requires photographic skills beyond mine. I will try again, hoping for luck.
i sold all my handguns. . . . . . . . . . except for the 1911 style pistols in .45 ACP.
