My RIA came with Novak mags and they don't always feed my reloads or HP properly. Get some Wilson or Chip McCormick Power mags and you will be GTG!
Also learn how to properly strip a 1911, so you don't get the "idiot" mark! 
Mine and what she went through in the first month or so!  Also a CMC Power mag 10rd
Idiot mark!

Cool, thanks for the tip on the mags, will definitely look into those! And yes, I will definitely spend lots of time stripping and reassembling it once I get it
That's quite an impressive pile of brass!
