Thanks Charles! :)

You were right about the trying it with only 7 rounds. I guess I was just worrying too much.

Thanks for the rapid response!

I would say that for the most part its a "cosmetic" issue with the top round but, sometimes when doing a "slide check" the slide does'nt completely return to the front unless I give it a little nudge. Thats the part that concerns me and makes me wonder if the mags are'nt seating correctly. I dont know but I could just be fretting over nothing.

Hi all,

I am having a problem with my Kimber Pro CDP and after-market magazines. I have 3 Wilson 8-round mags and 1 Chip McCormick 8-rounder. The problem that I'm having is that when the slide is pulled back on a full clip that it makes considerable contact with the top round in the mag.
I have 2 children in my house and even though I always keep my pistol out of reach and sight of them I find myself frequently doing "slide checks" to ensure that the pistol is loaded/unloaded. When doing so the slide scrapes the top round and leaves obvious scratchs/abrasions.
A friend of mine had suggested that I alter the mags at the top by "bending" them to pull the top round down slightly. I have 2 questions.....
1. Is this type of thing common with Kimber's or other guns?
2. Should I modify the mags?

I would appreciate any advice on this matter.

Thanx!
