Never had any meaningful reliability issues with factory glock mags, aftermarket sure, by not factory and that included some truly old and well used mags. So not sure reliability would be increased in glock pistols, perhaps if one was looking at a carbine or a glock mag fed AR, but I have a feeling any reliability issues there would be better solved by using a man that wasn't single position feed then trying to re-engineer the mag issue, at least in this case. Yes, I went there.
I am not sure how much capacity could be gained by going to, relatively speaking, thin walled metal mags either, and even if capacity could be gained I am not sure how practical would be to use since you'd likely be going into a situation with an odd stack that would possibly affect reliability. Also, unless you are using something like the KCI mags, factory glock mags are pretty damn rugged, and as much as I hate to say it, I would say going to a metal mag would likely result in a decrease in the magazines durability. As well as the above mentioned issue with mag released.
