Has anyone had a chance to put these mags through their paces? I'm interested in these over Pmags.
I know one guy who managed to break feed lips on 2 or 3 of those mags, apparently by just shooting them (and not much of this as well). How he managed it? I do not know. Maybe he is unlucky. I have no problem with mine and all other guys who have them did not report any problems as were (HK and their distributor here (Cenrex) gave several mags as give away for guys who compete with HK on our local 3Gun matches called Liga Sportera).
Anyway, those mags (as any other) can break. I just inspect rear part near feed lips on "spine" top for cracks and so far did no see any. I use them almost exclusively for training and or matches for last 2 years with zero problems. Also no problems with shooting supported on mags.
One thing that I noticed: you can over insert those mags (at least I was able to do that in my old HK, in new model with feed lips support in upper I was not able to do that) if you slam them really hard on open bolt. However in all cases small and not strong tug was all that was needed to put them in place. I specifically tested it and managed to do that only on test by banging on seated magazine bottom. It did not happen to me on training or during match and I do plenty of bolt open reloads "on timer".

I have put close to 500 rounds (yes lower than some of you heavy shooters) through mine during training. I have not experienced any issues. They drop free in my KAC, Colt, and Aero lowers.
