Tripp has nice quality 7 round mags.

Good advice and I will follow up with the help of utube! Lol

Ok alls well for now! Did a decent tear down and cleaned everything w CLP. I replaced the hidden hammer with a replacement one with a spur, heftier. Also put in new recoil springs that I got recently, and stretched the hammer spring out a bit while wait in for the Wolf spring kit. Really a...

It's clean, and I will go over everything again. Like I said, the light strikes seem to have disappeared once the gun was warmed up, the trigger not resetting is the remaining problem, but only after double action.

Just got off the phone w Wolf, spring kit is on the way, but the mystery continues!

Ok so I fired my used model 457 today, and it did well on single action even with different mags. On double action I was getting light primer strikes. The old timer is in like new condition. After a few more tries, it was firing well on double action, however even though the slide cycled and...

Check out their website, I think they may have something to fit your needs. Just ordered upgrades for my 7 round 457, and it looks like their 7 or 8 round mag will also fit. Good luck.

You may want to check out Tripp mags. They are a little more $ but nice quality. You can even get upgraded springs and followers.

Thanks all!

The 2 mags in the gun case have dark colored followers. I picked up 2 used ones recently which have the yellow followers. I will try all of them out soon, just concerned a bit that the used ones say on them "use with yellow followers only", I am wondering why?

Mine is the 457 model.

Mmmmm, good response thanks! I will have to digest that analysis.

Why is it that some gen 3 mag followers are yellow plastic? Is there any special significance to this? I have two mags that indicate that they must be used in these mags. Suppose I want to use Tripp or Wilson springs and followers, what's the big deal? Thanks for your comments!

Did the same the other day with my son, really enjoyed our first hundred rounds! Felt nice and light with no problems. I have my own Rockriver with a 20" barrel which is nice, but that cost a heck of a lot more!

He probably just removed the front sight post, which should not be a problem.
