TM 1911 mags gas efficiency

So, I bought an upgraded to the titties TM 1911 which came with 3 used MEU mags.

After playing with the pistol a few games I noticed I wouldn't get more than 22 - 25 shots before the blowback wouldn't be able to load the next round as it ran out of gas.

I don't have this problem with my other 3 old school style mags though, which are brand new TMs (25 shots with lock back).

My question is, I think the problem with the MEU mags is either the gas routers might be a bit worn down, causing poor air seal, or that they don't sit high enough.

Should I .... ?

1. Shim the mag gas routers higher?
2. Buy new guarder gas routers
3. Figure a way to make the mags sit higher, as the MEU mags seem to wooble more than the GI mags which fit exceptionally well.


Sorry for typos- I'm writing on my phone


Thanks xD
