All,
Had an officer suffer two instances of auto-disassembly of his magazines in the last couple of weeks. Guns are approx 4 years old. In both instances, the magazine was seated in the pistol & pistol holstered when
the baseplate let go. I haven't seen the first magazine, but do have the pieces of the second. The flat plate with the post on it that the mag spring nests in and then goes against the outer baseplate is cracked
along one long edge.
In examining several officers' magazines, they all exhibit to a greater or lesser degree, an outward curve on the base plate, or a slight bulge
Anyone heard of/experienced anything like this?
Thanks in advance.
Chris
