These are the German-made mags that hit the market a couple years ago (or thereabouts). Opinions ranged from "decent mag" to "complete crap". Anyone with any recent experience with these?

You are being way too nice.  When I got the e-mail this week that their mags were $4.99 for the weekend sales I still couldn't buy any even as a sale item in the next panic.

First gen I sent back on sight.  Second gen I used as a selling with with an old rifle. By Gen 4 they should be $8 mags and should be fine range mags. Some good ideas that they seemed to take the cheap way out on.

1.5% less crap then gen 1. They might work as range mags.  Maybe.

Mine were the opposite.  The feed lips were so thin / soft / flexible that the follower would pop up above the lips about half way.

Well, you gotta admit that they do LOOK cool

(Remember, it's not how you play but how you look)

Check youtube and you'll find several videos showing how bad they are, like this one.
