I'm *guessing* those three have a bit weaker spring.

Have you compared the magazines side by side with the ones which work? No dents, dings,
malformations.

Have you disassembled them, cleaned & oiled them? I'd be careful about leaving oil
residue. ? maybe use silicone instead? I heard of one PD years ago that forbid their
officers using WD-40 to clean their weapons after some didn't wipe it off well and the
primers got saturated with WD-40. Result: NO FIRE. Bad, for an officer needing to fire
his weapon. I suspect this could be partially cured by "sealing" the primers after the
load is finished. I know one fellow who puts a drop of fingernail polish on his and then
wipes it off. It stays in the groove and looks like a factory load. ;-)

Go to http://www.speedslide.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=29 and
go down about 1/3 the page to Failure to Chamber. I didn't read it but suspect it could help.
