Great addon
These work well on Ruger, Duramag, and the other metal 350 Legend mags. Simple to install once you the system down.

Solid
The L-plates definitely make me more comfortable when it comes to dropping aluminum mags. Ill definitely be buying a few more packs in the future. I put one on the Ar-15 magazines that are offered by brownells. The L-plate doesnt add much length to the magazine so thats good in my opinion.

Take care of your magazines!
I just like a little extra cushion when I drop a magazine. Sometimes I will need to load the magazine to get the floorplate to completely lock into place.

Nice Upgrade
These are a nice addition for my USGI mags. I hated dropping a mag (even an empty one) onto concrete at the range. The L-Plates provide a respectable degree of protection for my old workhorses. One issue, easily corrected: The lock plates have a slight burr/ridge at both ends (about 1 mm) left over from the manufacturing process. (See photo) These burrs can cause the lock plate to bind inside the mag and not properly engage the rubber bottom plate. The burrs are easily & quickly removed with a bit of fine grit sandpaper. It's such an easy fix that I still highly recommend them.
