thanks! I picked me up one

You know, I bought one too. Don't really want it or need it, but I've read so much good & bad about it, I just want to try it out for myself. If it works... fine. If it doesn't, I'll have the guys in my shop scope it out to figure out where the issue is.

Received it quickly and I just put about 100 rounds through it yesterday and its perfect. No jams! though the spring was a bit stiff making it a little hard to load but I'm told it would wear down. Good buy

I finally made it back to the range two nights ago. I took my original SW 25 round mag, two Plinker Tactical 35 rounders and two brand new Promag 32 rounders. I loaded all magazines earlier that day with American Eagle brand rounds.

When I ordered the two Plinker Tacticals I did not order the load assist tool. After killing my fingers to get 25 rounds in them last time I used them, I tried to find a solution. this time I clipped and used part of a sturdy wire clothes hanger, and was able to load 35 rounds into each.

I went to the range and shot the Original SW mag first with no problems. Then I shot the two brand new Promags with no problems. Both fitted properly, chambered the first round properly, no ftf's, and bolt remained open after last round in each.

Finally I tried the two Plinker Tacticals. I previously had problems with them chambering the first round. I read that I could try loading with the bolt open. This did not work for me. I tried chambering with the bolt closed as well and it took some time to get the first rounds chambered in both Plinker mags. After finally getting the first rounds chambered properly the remaining rounds did fire flawlessly and even held the bolt open after the final rounds. This was for both Plinker mags.

I ran another set of rounds through the SW original mag with no problems at all. I ran two more sets of rounds through each Promag and had no problems with those as well. I didn't bother trying to load the Plinkers again as I felt I could survive without the pain.

Will try the routine again next week.

You guys gotta get the loading assist tool.....They make it for a reason

+1, even though its overpriced and should be included, it's really a must if your going to load to full capacity.

Had I known this when I ordered the mags I definitely would have ordered one. However, learning this only after the fact, the cost plus shipping does not justify me ordering one separately now. For the $35.00 each I paid for an inferior product this necessity should have been included by Plinker Tactical.

Thanks for this review. I'm still on the fence regarding the PM's

You beat me to this response. The mags were a PITA to load without the tool. A friend and I have have only had these mags a couple of weeks and haven't had a hiccup. Now, if S & W would ship the 10 & 25 rounders.
