I picked up a couple of the ETS mags for my G19. I was looking at the spring and it has an odd design, doesn't seem to be made in a uniform fashion like a regular Glock mag. When I started loading the magazine up it doesn't seem to compress uniformly, almost like the spring is binding up on itself, yet it did take all 15 rounds. Anyone else notice this about this spring? For those of you that bought them are you happy with them?
It's a pity that ETS didn't put a mark at the 5 and 10 rd positions for people to be able to check loads. |

I'm almost positive I remember ETS mentioning the spring thing in their "new product" thread quite some time back, and saying that it's normal |
