    I haven't had a problem yet, but I bought a couple just to have. I've been trying ETS Group mags and they seemed to be pretty reliable and tough. Just remember, older Glock mags were once all plastic without the metal sleeve inside them and they worked fine

    I have the model 17 version and they work flawlessly in my 17 and 19 as well as my 9mm AR. IMHO they are GTG.

    I don't know if it was the ammo or the mag, but I had a failure to feed on a Wolf steel-cased 115gr FMJ round out of a Magpul G19 mag in a very new/clean Gen 4 G19.

    Couple of issues, not nearly as many as with ETS. Had fail to hold open, double feed, and a few that the feed lips didn't survive a 4' for drop on concrete

    I have 2. Haven't had any issues. I would not use them for carry or HD though, only for target/competition. I don't like how thick the baseplate is and they're a little harder to load than factory mags, I think because of the polymer. They aren't bad for the money, but I still prefer factory mags.

    Never had a single problem with mine. Its so reliable that I'm comfortable using it as one of my spare mags when i'm working armed security.

    Factory mags will almost always be the best. The gun with only be as reliable as the magazine. And gun manufacturers want their guns to be reliable so people will buy them.

    Great timing as I was thinking of picking a few up. Even if they get banished to the range only bag cause of issues. Since it sounds like it can be hit or miss with them.
