Just saw that keepshooting.com has new magazines for $35.  Don’t know if they are any good or not.

They're made in South Korea and have been around for years, some say they're OK, others say they're crap.

YMMV

I bought two, neither of which have reliably fed in my DSA para.

Picked up some fn surplus from the EE with no issues

Metal mags? All my 30's run fine. Some even had twenty rounder springs and they still fed.

As far as 20 round DSA mags, mine are eight or so years old, but two out of the four worked fine. I swapped the followers on the other two and smoothed the feed lips, which got them going.

I've only used one polymer mag and it didn't feed well. No experience with the newest batch of steel mags.

It appears DSA’s gen 2 metal mag is about as good as it’s Gen 1 so…..


Go over to files and read about it.
If a 147 grn 9mm at 1000 FPS is the hammer of Thor then a 165 grn. 40 at 1200 fps must a lightening bolt from Zeus!

Oof

I was referring to the polymer ones mostly

Guess glad I held off

I think I got 6 austrian mags. Would just like to have a few to beat around and not worry about too much. Was hoping the polymer ones would fit the bill but doesnt sound like it over here

Not surprised.

I do have one plastic mag I bought out of curiosity, it's worked OK so far.
