I accidentally bought an 11 round Beretta 96 magazine in a stack of used M9/92 magazines. I didn’t notice until that magazine had at least 200 rounds through it. It holds 15 rounds of 9mm, the feed lips are very slightly wider than its sisters, and it lives in my range bag and has never been involved in a malfunction. Has at least 500 rounds through it since I dedicated it as a range mag.
I have experience with the 10-round USP Full-size 9mm mags. Their performance relative to 10-round Glock mags played a significant role in deciding on the H&K vice the Glock was back in 2000. I’ve read and heard that Magpul 10-rounders with brass case ammo are in second place behind the factory standard capacity mags. As a Virginia resident, I hope I don’t have to find out.
Per the PF Code of Conduct, I have a commercial interest in the StreakTM product as sold by Ammo, Inc.
Are CZ P10C 10 round mags reliable? And I guess the P10C in general? I know they came out with a 2nd generation not too long ago, it seems like these would be a good alternative to Glock considering Glock doesn’t care about 10 round magazine reliability.
I don’t have any direct experience, so hopefully someone can chime in, but reports that I’m hearing about the pistols themselves is extremely favorable. As for the OEM 10-rounders, it’s a similar capacity limiting design that a lot of other manufacturers use, so I’d be surprised if they weren’t.
Prior to dipping my toes into the 1911 waters I was exclusively a Sig P-Series shooter.
I had a little over 10k through a P226 MK25 and a P228R mostly through the former with 10 rounders and no mag issues to speak of. They were a bit stiff getting the tenth round in but that would be my only gripe outside of the obvious.
I've had about a dozen of the 10 round G19 magazines over the years since they came out. I haven't had any issues with them. I've ran a variety of the premium self defense JHPs with them (Federal HST, Gold Dot, etc.) and plenty of brass cased FMJ. I have heard of people running into issues with aluminum and steel case ammo though. Also, they are perhaps the worse magazines to disassemble, you need like 3 hands to get them apart.
