In my estimation their product should not be sold as a magazine. It may make a fair to poor paperweight.

I've tried several in the past but none lately .
Years ago I had a Star model PS in 45 acp and 3K was the only magazine I could find and I had a Walther PPK 32 auto magazine .
Both worked with a little hand polishing of parts , .. to remove the rough edges and get follower to move freely .
If I can ... I prefer Mec-Gar magazines but 3K is better than no magazine at all . They were cheap for a reason .

They were cheap for a reason .

You were speaking of the Triple-K PPK magazine however these new to market 52 magazines by Triple-K are not cheap, in almost any manner we might argue the term.

Sevens,

You are right, they are not cheap. But still no good.

There have been reports of all kinds regarding how Triple K magazines actually work. Personally, I have had terrible luck with them and only a small percentage have worked - got rid of them all. Bottom line for me is I would never again buy a Triple K magazine and I subscribe to the ideology that if I am buying a specific gun I want the original magazines for it was well. Yes, they are more costly however they usually perform the best.
