Seeing as these magazines are quite new to the Canadian market I thought I would let every know how they functioned for me today at the range. I bought these from Brent, as usual top notch customer service. These magazines work exactly like advertised, easy to load. I ran 300 rounds through them, many times rapid fired a magazine using blazer ammo. Not one FTE, only once a fail to load a round. I HIGHLY recommend people to try these magazines, you wont be disappointed.
 
I bought a pair last month. These work awesome! I have fed 1,000 rounds through the pair over the last three days, and about 2,000 total. They love CCI Blazers, but hate Federal bulk. Winchester 555 works well too. They fit way more snug in my Ruger SR22 than my Butler Creek Steel Lips.
 
Anybody have issue with some rounds jamming up during the realignment step? I tried mine tonight, loaded the 20 from the stripper into the mag, tipped it upside down and released the lever. The first and second round tumbled funny and jammed.
I had to take the stripper clip off and fish them out.

Yes, I had this happen once and I had the first 2 or 3 rounds loose in the mag, chalked it up to user error. This could possibly also happen if you manually load the mag and draw the spring back too much as you insert a round.

I also noticed these magazines hold water (I was cleaning them in the sink, mostly disassembled). I had to shake vigorously to get the water out. The side-saddle is screwed onto the magazine and it creates a void between the two layers where the water can stay stuck. I also got some paint thinner stuck in there when degreasing the mags for arma-coat prep. I found that they were a pain to mask off and I ended up using plumbers putty. I am not touching my mags for about 3 weeks (cure-time), so I have time to think about it, but I will probably drill out a drain hole.

I ordered one mag, 3 stripper clips and 1 speed loader from One Shot Tactical. Awaiting delivery.

Not that it matters that much, I later noticed that Wolverine had all these items at a bit lower price.
 
Anyone shot these...and loaded them correctly!!!...using Federal? Their blue box or 525 value pack ammo?
