I have always suspected the double column magazines are more reliable. Partly because the most reliable guns I know of, the Sig 226/228 and the Beretta model 92 variations plus the Browning Hi-power are all right at the top of the heap as far as going bang every time you pull the trigger.

I once had a Sig 225 which was basically reliable but would jam with a few loads. The same loads were perfect in the 226.

I know there are plenty of reliable guns with single column mags but I would bet the reason those Sigs interchange in double space mags but not in single is due to the mag design as much as anything.

Agree....the rep stated such was just the geometry of the magazines. I have a glock 23 set up with the 40/357 and one caliber hicap mag and nooooo problems. When I deployed to remote regions with no logistical train I carried a HiPower with no regrets or worries. As I stated above I like the ...begins with "four" caliber.... with a 800 to 1000 FPS abilities for self defense thus I have always used a 1911A1 in some flavor.

But I have responsibilities to uphold as a proud member of the gun of the month club so I like to tell the girl friday I'm into investmentment buying and the market is poor so I buy low and have to hold on to em till the price goes up.........:o) A few gun safes later I don't think she's buying my explaination or reasoning any more.

BTW I have a 228 also and have noticed they aren't around too many times. They getting rare now ? (obilgatory, look dear I'm researching value question :o)

Stay Safe !!
