    I don't think Brownells is open right now...

    I don't even have to open the link to see it. I've seen it a lot. I've shot a half-dozen Colt LW Commanders to gobbits over the years, and I've never had that frame damage...because I've never allowed a magazine equipped with a folded Devel follower in the guns. I've stuck with the standard magazines and followers all the way, except for a brief experiment with Metalform's skirted/round-topped followers...which were also unsatisfactory for a few reasons..and since they limited capacity to 7 rounds...why bother trying to re-invent the wheel...Y'know?

    Well, that is why the interweb is a Good Thing (tm). I get to learn and diagnose all sorts of problems with a minimum of head scratching and messing stuff up really bad.
    Like so many who undertake arduous journeys, I left a city of wise men and came back to a polis of fools. Ignorance, like time, brooks no returns.

    Combat Controller........just looked at the pics, I've only seen marks like that when the mag has the devel type follower in it.
    If it isn't durable, it isn't reliable.

    I took my Essex arms build out yesterday with the new Colt mags with the 11 pound Wolff springs. My son and I put 120 rounds through it. Hydroshoks and ball. My son had one failuire to fully feed. I belive he "Limp Wristed" it.
    Everything else was flawless. I'm sold.
    A special thanks to 1911 TUNER for helping us remember that the farther we get from John Browning's original design the closer we come to unreliable ville.
    Now if I can just figure out why companies charge so much for a gun that doesn't run 100% out of the box
