I plan on doing further research, but in the meantime, I'm open to any and all suggestions. (Don't say it, TS. )


Two thoughts:
1)they were manufactured incorrectly
2)the metal in the mag is soft and over time it has stretched the slot.

Most active shootist consider magazines to be consumables, with a limited life span. My money is on #2..

My suggestion:

Contact Wilson??
