Garbage
DO NOT BUY. After loading the magazine with 5 9mm bullets the spring jammed because there not enough force to push the bullets. I wouldnt even want this product for free. Absolute garbage.
Constant jams
Tended to jam every 5 rounds or so from two different mags. Not all usable for what I intended. They looked good, though. I expected more out of them.
KCI USA, Inc
I brought two of the KCI USA Inc 33 rd mags. First, they are not made in the USA...I would not have brought them if I knew they were not made here. Second, I would only recommend using them at the range to practice clearing jams. Here another case where you get what you pay for. Turns out the spring in both of them were about an inch shorter than a factory spring. So I brought 2 new springs. One works OK for the range & the other works if I only load 28 rds in it. I still would not use either one for competition or self-defense. PS: I also brought one 17 rd mag & it works.
Junk
I bought 5 of these a while back, used them less than 10 times each, in my ar9. Constant ftls. One of them failed with less than 5 times of use. The spring completely lost its spring. Couldnt even push up a couple rounds. I threw the last of them away today. Springs were starting to fail on those as well. I also have the Glock brand high capacity, that Ive had a lot longer. No problems. Im sticking to the brand mags from now on. No more cheap aftermarkets for me anymore.
Don't Buy It Constantly Jams
This magazine can't even make it through a single magazine without jamming. The spring does not compress evenly and as you shoot the bullets it gets caught on itself. It can be freed up by tapping it but but shouldn't have to do that. Spend the extra money and buy the Magpul ones. I wasn't planning on using these for carry magazine, just range mags so I don't have to unload my carry ammunition every trip. It';s disappointing they couldn't even do that
