Not perfect, but not as bad as most say.

I've used a handful of these mags for a few months now, and these are not so bad in my opinion as most people say. It is a plastic magazine and it's important to remember that, it isn't heavy rigid steel, if you keep them topped off for any length of time they will start to deform and lose rounds. I was taught to leave two or three rounds out to avoid setting the spring and to swap them out every few weeks, following this method I have experienced no issues with losing rounds over time of being loaded. and so far none of these magazines have given me issues with malfunctions of any kind. I would definitely prefer a steel mag, but for a $20 magazine that's actually available during this nonsensical point in history, I have no issues with them.
