Hello Everyone,

This is my first post here. Just the other day, I was shooting my Walther P99, 40 Caliber. While loading one of the magazines, the floor plate simply shot out from the bottom. On a closer look, the floor plate's plastic portion that holds the plate retainer broke off. If anyone is insterested, I will be more than happy to upload the pictures on this thread.

I have contacted Walther USA as well as SW customer support. I am awaiting their response.

Has anyone experienced such an occurrence?
What are your suggestions, if any, in contacting Walther USA or Smith & Wesson?

Thank you in advance for your replies.

I will take a wild guess....
that mag was 10 rounder ???

If so the only choice to fix this is to ask S&W for some new floorplates or to change to 12 round mags as this problem looks to be common for a certain batch of 10 round .40S&W mags only....
apparently there was some bad polymer used on some 10 round floorplates...
again this is only reported in the .40S&W
