Magazines in any autopistol are the #1 cause of malfunctions. I agree with you that it would seem wise for SA to contract the magazine issue out and issue magazines that are reliable with their pistols. I have not noticed this as much with their full size weapons. I have owned some that have been 100% reliable with the SA mags, although I still generally trade them out for Wilsons. Glad to hear you took care of your problem.
