I didnt know it at the time, because FastBolt had not yet written his excellent tutorial on the difference between 4513TSW/4553TSW and CS45 mags, but one of the mags that came with it from Buds was a CS45 mag. And it functioned in the 4553TSW.

When FastBolt taught us the difference, I stuck it in my spare mags bin.

To be clear, we are talking about the original production 4553TSW, the one with the 6 round mag and cut out grip, right? And the CS45 mag that wont function in the 4553TSW, is it one of the CS45 mags from Midway? If so, that would explain why it wont work in the 4553TSW. The mag is no good.

TercGen is correct about the Midway CS45 mags. They are mis stamped on one side. I posted a warning here about them a few weeks back. Guess nobody saw it. I didnt notice until it was too late to return them. So I stripped mine for parts and threw out the mag bodies.
If it previously functioned perfectly,
with no issues, should have kept using it...

As long as it is not one of the bunch that had
mis-aligned stampings, should be fine.

It is, however, far easier to use other 45XX mags
in a CS45 than the reverse
