Picture of broken part?  Being that we have several G20 mags, I would like to see what to keep an eye on.

When it broke, did it cause the firearm to malfunction, or did it still feed?

no it caused the feed lip to flip vertical since it didnt have any rear support

The mag looks pretty new (or at least clean).

I've never seen a follower break like that.  

Might have to file this under "shit happens".  Freak occurrence with the mold.

What is the number on the follower ?
Glock JUST changed the follower on 10mm mags ( about 6-8 months ago  ), call Glock, they will send you a replacement part.
Can you please add a close up photo of just the broken part, I have several G29 & G20 mags, a little concerned.

I wasn't aware of that.

I think all of mine are #2, and they aren't that old.

The 2 new mags I ordered from midway a few weeks ago both had the new follower in them (3) stamped on top. I replaced the springs the other day to wolf xtra power springs I can say I like the older design better atleast wear the spring attaches to the follower

Just bought a used G20 that has shell casings dated early December '12 and I noticed one of the followers was sticky while loading it up. I will have to check the followers out.
