Won't lock open on the last round.
Recently purchased a RIA Ultra 10mm, so I also purchased several mags for it to what ran best: Metalform, Wilson, Ed Brown, Chip McCormick Shooting Star. All fed the gun but the Metalform would not lock the slide when empty. All other mags including the RIA mag did. Also the Metalform bumper pads don't fit right on any of the mags (or 45 mags) because the holes are slightly off so the pad sits off center. In years past Metalform has been flawless in my 45s, but something now is off with their manufacturing-I would stay away for now. For the value and quality of construction-Ed Brown seems the best plus they come with their own bumpers.
