When I load a mag I always bump it on the heel of my palm or my mouse pad at least once to make sure the load is equal all the way up. If I'm not mistaken, some have had a bit of trouble, but when they bump it (not on a hard surface) the problem is solved.gdh1059 said:I have read on the internet that you may encounter a problem if you top off the magazine with 12 rounds? Has any one had any issues with this?![]()
Actually I'm surprised. You'd think at the very least that a little lube of some kind would prevent rust/corrosion.JFree said:I have been lubing mine with a little bit of gun oil. Should I stop doing so? Taurus seems to think so.
Hmm. I wonder if that Taurus service guy is still hiding around here somewhere.JFree said:I agree, but what if they are coating them with something that prevents rust and corrosion?
And will a little bit of lube hurt the plastic follower?

TY for that! I am just about at the point to take mine apart! Even the PT111 mags take some breaking in. Some times they even break,(I had one that cracked and had to be replaced.) But would hate to over pressure anything. I know I heed the warning about oil in cylinders, and barrels to keep from having that problem. But I never thought about it applying to the mags.jwc007 said:I don't Lubricate the inside of my magazines and cartridges, and I don't have feeding problems (currently), and you shouldn't either!
Keep them properly cleaned and maintained and they should work just fine! ;D
New magazines, particularly double column .45's, as they use heavier springs, may take some wearing in, so please be patient.
I have never lubed any of my semi-auto magazines and have never had a problem. Dry and clean should be fine. Oil would tend to cause dust and lint attraction causing a jam or excess oil could soak into a primer causing a possible misfire from what I have heard.JimL said:Actually I'm surprised.

I just read somewhere that some Ruger mag fits the PT111.Robby said:I know there are some available in PT111 that were 20 or so plus mags.
