Yeah, that's what the 10mm reference was for. The comparison is more obvious when both measurements are in the same unit.

FTF = Failure to Feed
FTE = Failure to Eject
FTB1911 = Failure to Buy 1911
That's what I thought it meant. I'm just unsure how trying to fit a 9mm object into a 10mm hole would cause it to not go into battery. I just something just gets in there crossways when the dimensions don't match what you're expecting.
