You will definitely hurt your thumbs if you had to load a lot of these magazines for a range day. The first four load relatively easy. Beyond that, it gets almost impossible. Just a lot of tapping and pushing to get those last two rounds in as others have said.

I found the finish which was dull and not polished kept the magazine from clearing the mag well when released. not a big problem but i like to hear the mags hit the ground when i hit the mag release, it was also a tight spring in the mag which made inserting the last round tough

Fits the tisas 1911 9mm . Both worked without problems.

Hard to load last 2 bullets. It's need to polish inside and make short spring.

Very rough does not slide into firearms smoothly poor design cheaply made

Great product. Took a very long time in transit.

I'm very sorry but I can only stuff 7 rounds into this magazine. I'm using a plastic thumb saver device so I'm able to apply considerable force. If this is normal, people need to be advised.

The ones I ordered were old and poor quality

First batch of these I got they were Mecgars... second order was Checkmate magazines. Not real wild about the Checkmate magazines. But I guess it is what it is. Description needs to be a little bit clearer on what you're going to get
