    My .38 Super is a Rock Island.
    Had to replace the magazine before it was reliable.

    Not me. I've had a full size RI for a few years and it's been very reliable, got a hi-cap more recently and so far it's working just as well as the first one.

    I have a ria 9mm and this happens all the time with the first 3-4 rounds in the clip if they are hollow points. Rarely if any with ball ammo. For what ever reason after the 3-4 round it feeds hp with no problems.

    Perhaps that's the problem.

    A RIA 1911 doesn't use a clip.

    The only time I've had issues with my RIA is when the spring is tired. Mine is a compact and the Wolff spring I run in it (22#) has a 400 round replacement cycle. I start to have trouble around the 450 to 500 round mark. Other than that, its been rock solid.
