Poor fit

Bought as range mags for my carry. The mags pinch my pinky finger upon every shot on a Glock 19 between the mag and the frame. Mag moves a lot in the frame. This is not the case with the factory mags. When inserting a loaded mag it holds the slide lock up so you cannot release the slide unless you push the slide stop down. The mag is too wide at the top and rubs on the slide stop.

Poor construction

I bought two 10-rounds magazine FOR Glock19 given the attractive price. Surely enough, They have unpleasantly surprised me with failing to reload automatically after five rounds , and even less. I had each time have to manually reload and then I could shoot until magazine was empty. This could be a major problem in a life and death situation, so I will buy only the original Glock magazines from now on.
