model 39 magazines

[SergeantC]

A week ago, I was at the range with my M39. The magazines I was using included some 10 round models I bought from seller on Gunbroker.

One of them basically jammed in the grip. I had to hammer it out.

Upon further examination, I see that my 10 round magazines have two different witness hole patterns on the sides, zig zag and straight. The zig zag ones work, the straight ones are the ones that jam in the gun.

Does anyone know who made these magazines? Does anyone else have any? Has anyone else heard of or experienced similar problems with the ones with the straight holes?

TIA

There were no official 10 round magazines made for the model 39 I know of , most likely you got taken by buying some crappy aftermarket mags . I'd toss them away immediately , the only companies I know of that did use to make them were Triple-K or USA magazine company ....total trash .

Total trash, exactly. No substitute for a S&W mag.

Sounds like Pro-Mags.

I got suckered into buying a Pro-Mag for a 39, JUNK.
