Default M&P 40c mag follower color?

Bought the pistol 2 weeks ago. It had black followers. Had an extra mag ordered previously @ a month ago, and it came with a grey follower. Was there some engineering change (one better or more reliable?) or just color that would not concern me regarding performance?

3 versions of M&P .40 followers.

Changes have been made to improve feeding & functioning since introduction.

Original on the left, running to the newer revision on the right.





Original follower on the bottom and the newest on the top.


If there's been yet another revision, I haven't gotten it yet.

Last I saw, the newest has the number '40' on the top.

I just looked again, and all 3 are the latest as pictured above. I must have made a mistake because I looked at my full size 9mm mags (they have the grey follower). Thanks for the help, but I guess this was a false alarm. Sometimes I'm mentally challenged ( It gets worse as I get older...)

Yeah, the 9mm followers have benefited from at least one revision, too. I just didn't take any comparison pictures when I ordered them for a friend's M&P 9c.
