Rick, So far I have bought only one gun via 'net, the 22/45 Lite. The mags would not drop free, I had to grab them and pull them down. I saw that the heel of my hand was on the rear part of the mag that sticks up keeping the mag from dropping. So for this pistol I have to shift my grip a bit to...

SR, How funny, I bought that same 10/22 too, and the Boy Scout one for my son. Too bad about the windage on your pistol, sounds like a good for you trade though. Happy shooting
