You can take the info for what it's worth. If you don't want to believe it happened, then drive on. I'm not trying to spread rumors, just giving a heads-up to PPQ owners.
If you shoot a PPQ, you might want to stick with factory mags. Then again, you might not. More power to you.
If I'm not mistaken it was a Magnum Research mag.
As someone who a PPQ, and the MR mags as well as factory mags, I have one of each in front of me as I type this..Looking at both in the feedlip area, as well as anywhere else on the mag, It would appear that they are in fact, identical..other than the finish,and the color of the follower. I doubt it's a issue with the MR mags, but rather, a very unusual fluke, If this happened with MR mags, it could probably happen with factory mags as well. At this point I'd say it was just a very unusual accident..
