Dont buy.
If you put 8 rounds in the magazine then it wont fit properly in the firearm, take one round out and it will fit fine. I bought an 8 round magazine just to hold 7 rounds. Spend the extra money and buy a product of higher quality.

No HP or SWC
i bought 6 of these earlier this year, as arrived none would feed high performance .45-185gr-HP or .45-185gr-SW. when i went to open the feed lips to decrease the feed angle, the feed lips cracked on 3 of the 6, making them useless. buy something else.

Breakage/wad feeding problems
Had floorplate fall off, MF replaced with one that wouldn't feed 190 gr lee wheelweight cast semi-wad. Other mag worked fine.
