I've had this for several years, have 3 original mags for it but I recently picked up 2 aftermarket ones from Numrich. They do appear to be good quality, although I noticed the springs are much lighter than the factory mags. Edges are sharper.
At any rate, I had it out today. One of these aftermarket mags worked fine. The second, the follower gets stuck when it's down far enough for 5 rounds. Should be an easy fix but just a "heads up" for anybody running these and looking for mags: You might need to polish them up a little. At ~30% less than the cost of an original (after the exchange rate, shipping etc) and the fact that the originals are almost like hen's teeth, they don't seem to be a bad option. I'll have to try them out a little more and see how they hold up.
