I run a ton of Colt (NHMTG) mags and D&H mags. Yes the Colt mags are my primary mags, but I really have seen no difference in the D&H mags that I have been running for a few years now. Quite honestly the D&H mags actually see much more use as I train with them more often than the Colt mags. I would have absolutely no reservations with the functionality of D&H mags in a critical use situation. Like any other piece of gear, each component that is critical should be vetted on an individual basis and properly monitored on a routine maintenance and inspection schedule.
I have no affiliation and too bad to hear about your experience. From what I have seen, I own dozens of the D&H black, grey and tan mags and know others who also run them and I have not seen or personally encountered this problem and I too live in a hot weather region.
Like I said, I am aware that the problem I had may be limited to just a small batch of mags. The main thing that bothered me, and the main reason I won't buy their stuff anymore, is because they won't stand behind their products when something DOES go wrong. I would think twice before y'all buy any more from them either... especially when there are plenty of good mfg's out there that make a great product and stand behind it 100%, like Magpul.

Magpul didn't stand begins a batch of early gen 2 mags. I purchased 20 that would not for any if my lowers except my Colt. I had to sand down one and realized what a job it would be for the remaining 19, so I talked to Magpul and they told me they were designed to fit Colt magazine wells without rattling and I should take it up with the manufacturer of my lowers. I had five lowers that worked fine with every other mag. So in the end magpul told me to get lost more or less. So I sanded them down until they fit. I was later told that magpul changed their dimensions shortly after.
Moral of the story, everybody makes mistakes and CS sometimes fails.
Since your magazines were PSA branded, I would call that a PSA problem. It's common for several companies to make things for somebody else and not warranty them separately. I would hit up FN if I bought a bad BCM barrel.

NHMTG = Colt = Okay = 33710.
I think these are the best GI type you can get. That and Pmag are all I have. But I've used DH a little, and would prefer them if I couldn't get Okay or Pmag.
This is the truth. Everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect and having worked in CS sometimes you are going to tell a customer something they don't want to hear because it is policy. Doesn't always make it right, but I would offer that one should look at the trends of a companies CS rather than just a single lone example. Had a rather large issue with PSA a number of years back and swore them off due to very shitty CS/shipping. Did order a number of the D&H mags recently though, couldn't help myself and wasn't concerned if I got them in a few weeks or more. Ordered on Sunday, got them that Wednesday. I do not believe SKD could have gotten them to my door any faster.
Hell H&K who was once considered the worst of the worst for CS has begun receiving praise for CS efforts.
In regards to the Pmags though, I don't know if there would have been anything Magpul could have done, if the mags were in spec for what they were supposed to be they were in spec, even if they did not work with other lowers. Though I do thank you for the story. Is a fine example of a lower is not always just another lower.
