On this note I'd personally add that it is more than just a plastic coating. I'd say it is the plastic that Glock uses that makes them as durable as they are, which I have heard, though am not certain is the same plastic used in Glock frames. From personal experience KCI mags, which more than a few will parrot are made the same way as Glock factory mags have proven vastly less durable showing signs of wear after only a few range trips being dropped from the gun compared to factory mags that are much older and been treated harsher being dropped on concrete, gravel, and dirt which look much better. Seriously I have glock factory mags that are from 2004 that I have been using that are in better shape than KCI mags that are half that old, several of which compatriots have given up the ghost in training because they are junk plastic, and also aren't nearly as reliable in general use. I'll be one of the ones who doesn't have an issue with glock mags in Glocks since then, for the most part work and work well.
