[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3856155, member: 45773"] I agree if you don't use them really heavily. I love the 47D Wilson mags...just hate the plastic followers. Definitely the smoothest loading mags I've ever had. I used 5 at a Thunder Ranch class (granted...it was 1998...maybe they're better now) and wore out three of them (followers...not mags). Shooting 500+ rounds a day for 4 days took a toll on the followers to the point 3 of them stopped locking the slide on empty. A year or so later took the follow-on class...team tactics or something like that. That time I used the Power Mags. Not a single magazine issue over the 5 days of the class. I have several Wilsons now that I've used for over 10 years, I'd guess. Never a problem and no sign of wear on the followers. But I don't use them nearly as often as before when I carried a gun for a living. [/QUOTE]
