And your saying the magazine supplied by Springfield is not holding the rounds when you eject a full mag?
Loose rounds fall out of the mag well?

Yes sir

And the Ed Brown magazines do the same thing?
If so call Springfield Armory and explain what’s going on, the gun might need to be inspected for proper operation.
(800) 680-6866
They are open until 4pm Eastern Time.
even the factory mag? huh. tight mag springs, maybe? you can try to store the mags for a week or so loaded to capacity. not sure if that will help "loosen" the mag spring.
you may want to put a call into springfield's customer service.

Ok, I would still call Springfield Customer Service and tell them about the magazine(s) supplied with the gun they will send you replacement(s)

Ok thank you I will do that sorry about wording things wrong lol old age I guess
if the ed browns are functioning fine then use them. i'd still call springfield to explain the situation and ask if maybe they can send you another factory mag. you paid for it after all.

Also make sure you register your gun with Springfield for the warranty, when you do you will get the chance to buy items at a discount.

I routinely hit my slide release on my 1911. 50% Lock open, 50% don't but all hit the target!

I am not a fan of Mec Gar mags and frankly the Ed Brown mags, while ok I guess, are not impressing me much either. I have a few of them and one of them is funky and now resides in a drawer. All my Wilson Combat mags work fine. I have a couple Kimber mags that work fine too, though I am told by someone here that Mec Gar makes them.

I have 4 Mec-Gar for my Emissary 45 and all work flawlessly.

Apparently I have 2. Kimber mags.
Then I also have about 10 that don't. All aftermarket 10 round "Clinton ban" mags for a Llama Max II 13 rd. double stack .45 1911. I bought them a long time ago though. Shortly after the Clinton AWB took effect. Every one of them has horrible FTF problems. They are now making aftermarket 13 rd. mags for the same gun and I considered buying a couple, but I am reluctant.

+1 on the Wilson Combat mags. Never have a problem with them.

I exclusively use Kimber mags in my 9mm Custom II 1911 in 9mm and there .45 mags in my Pro Carry II, never a issue with them

If you get a hankering for new mags check out the Vickers mags sold by Wilson. I've had a lot of experience with the .45 Vickers and it's the only mags I use now. I've had no experience with the Vickers 9mm mags but if they are anything like the .45 you may have found your last mags. They're expensive but worth every penny.

Hey took the gun out and only had time to run a few mags but I guess you're right. I was careful where my thumb was and four out of four mags the slide stayed open. So I'm going to say that's it. Strange never had that happen in many years and different gun . Thanks for the help
