So I have a KJW 1911, and followed the general internet advise to purchase 3 TM 1911 co2 magazines because they were supposedly interchangeable. I was disappointed to find that they are not compatible.
Specifically, the TM magazines would not lock into the magwell of the pistol. I tried this many times, and with several magazines. I bought 3 TM magazines, and I have 1 KJW (Stock) co2 magazine, as well as 2 Green Gas kjw magazines. All of the KJW mags fit flawless and lock into place when inserted into the mag-well. The TM magazines, however, fit but do not lock in and eventually slide out of the gun.
After closer inspection I realized that the co2 cartridges did not fit in place as closely as the KJW ones because the gas valve on the inside of the co2 insert was not as deep. I originally thought that I didn't buy the proper co2 cartridges, or did not insert them properly. But this was not the case. The magazines still did not lock into the mag-well without cartridges inside as well.
I purchased these magazines from ebairsoft. If anyone knows of a quick fix, please help. If not, I'm afraid I'll have to return these.
In both images the TM magazines on the left, and the original KJW magazine is on the right.
