Don't use in combat!
I bought 5 of these before my last combat tour in Afghanistan with the hope that I would finally have a good reliable magazine for my M9. Within 1 week of being in country they failed to feed. One of the problems is that they need cleaned literaly EVERY day due to the 18 round indicators in the rear allow alot of sand to get into it. Spring tension was HORRIBLE as well. I could only keep 5-6 rounds in the mag before you could hold it upside down and just shake rounds out of it. I would actually strip them down, clean them, and keep them in a plastic bag everytime I came back inside the wire. Only would recommend them for target shooting.
