This. If you don't feel comfortable carrying them, fine. This allows a cheaper means of training mags, when you factor in $10 per mag for about 5-6 training mags, that's a substantial difference for us non-ballers.
One other note, I don't get why people are complaining about the lack of holes in the rear. Either count them like a big boy while loading, or just fill it up until it can't take any more. It's not rocket science, stop nitpicking shit.

I hope DSG is able to set up the auto ship as well, I pre-ordered 10 of these that will need the new bodies.
Are there any DSG personnel following this thread?

I emailed DSG on Friday. They are planning to send the magazine bodies out once they have them.

My 2 mags from midway have functioned fine so far in a gen 4 g19. Granted, I've only run 115gr fmj through them, but so far so good. From what I can gather from google searches, Magpul doesn't sell mag parts, such as springs, followers, baseplates, etc., basically what I'd need to make the old mag bodies into functional range mags. That's sad, I only planned to use the glock pmags at the range, and I was hoping to now be able to still get some use out of the old mag bodies after using transferring the mag guts into the new bodies...ah well...

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I was getting ready to email them.

600 rounds through four GL17 magazines so far with zero issues. All 115 and 124 grain ball.
The majority of the rounds went through a G17 but we did run these in a G19. They seem to be nice mags and if the issues are resolved with new mag bodies they will make nice training mags.
I dont want lighter weight on my carry mags, nor do i want an easier to remove baseplate. Nor do i want a non OEM magazine that i have to vette with VERY expensive carry ammo to ensure it works with longer loads and different bullet profiles. The OEM magazines work marvelously in this regard so a change is simply not necessary.

I'm only interested in a few (3-4) extra mags for GSSF and the range. For those purposes almost perfect is good enough so saving money can be a good thing. The original 3 factory magazines are enough for carry use.

I got 4 as training mags and my 2 OE mags are in my carry gun and a mag carrier I carry every day.
But the magpul mags are lighter (even loaded, noticeably lighter), quieter, and while "cheaper" feeling I like how they feel better than OE mags.
There's a chance I will eventually switch over to them in my carry guns.

Ridiculous question but..are these legal in GSSF for anything but "open"?
