Usually factory mags are considered the best for reliability for any firearm.
I have read repeatably of smokestack FTE's in Ruger std's and Mk's, often caused by the mag feed lips sitting too high.
Inconsistancy in the critical dimension between the feed lips and the surface that interfaces with the magazine catch appears to be the problem.
I've read a post a while back, can't remember where, mentioning having to file or dremel some Ruger mags to avoid this problem, but also mentioning never having the problem with Mec Gar mags for the Ruger Mk II.
Is the Mec Gar the best/most reliable magazine for the Ruger Mk II? Is the factory mag? Other brand? Are some Ruger Mk II factory mags more reliable than others? Do these higher reliability factory mags have any distinguishing markings or characteristics?
What has been other's experience with mags for the Mk II?
