If you have never had a magazine fail for anything other than a spring then count yourself lucky. Have seen bent feed lips, magazine bodies get dented and or buckled, followers bend and other assorted things happen. Granted some of the mags were handled rather roughly.

As of right now, I plan to shoot the Triple K's on Friday. If they work enough to feed properly for 5 shots each, then the S&W mags will be put away.

Mags accidently get dropped, scratched and otherwise marred up. No sense using a $200 magazine for play, when a cheaper one will do. If I was shooting competitively or used the gun for self defense then the Triple K's would be put away.
