Chip McCormick 8rd Converstion Spring Problem

[Plisk]

Recently a friend of mine gave me a Chip brand 8rd 1911 magazine, but then I realized it wasn't a Chip follower and spring in it. I figured it out when I would not load an 8th round. So I ordered a Chip 8rd conversion mag and follow from their site.

When I installed it into my mag, the follower easily pops out the front of the magazine and the spring shoots out. I've tried different positions of the spring and no dice. I tried the same on my factory Springfield 1911 magazine. Same deal, easily pops out the front. What am I doing wrong?

When you install the spring the little hook has to up and forward. When you put the follower in the hook of the spring needs to hook around the bottom of the follower. That keeps the follower from coming out. If you ever need a cheap alternative to a CMC follower midway sells ruger p90 followers which look identical to CMC followers. The 8 round p90 springs look they would work too. It's like $6 for the set plus shipping. Mark

Here's the ruger follower:

The spring does catch somewhat on the lip on the bottom of the follower but it doesn't seem to help.

The follower is suppose to jump completely out of the magazine?
