I see two types. One is OEM from Smith and Wesson, the other is aftermarket from Pro Mag. I've never had good luck with Pro Mag products. I bought some years ago from Cheaper Than Dirt and the ones that would load 9mm rounds wouldn't cycle and the other ones wouldn't even allow me to load the rounds.
I have two Pro Mags that came with a 457 I bought a couple of years ago. Those won't fire double action because apparently the just enough out of spec to activate the mag safety. OEM magazines work fine though.
My personal opinion is that I wouldn't use a Pro Mag for anything other than range duty and only if I had nothing else.
I think Mec Gar is the OEM manufacturer for Smith&Wesson.
