Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

Have ya tried them yet?
They arrived yesterday and I installed them. Was a bit of effort to get the original followers out because of a lip at the bottom, so i had to rotate them some and push them out. The new ones were somewhat hindered by the same lip. Oddly the standard mag was easier than the mag with the finger extension base plate, but they should be identical. The new followers are taller and stick up higher from the empty magazine, which surely is to help ensure the slide always stops. I bought the orange ones so you can easily see them through the witness holes in the magazine. The new ones are 1.61cm tall; the old ones 1.44cm. The new ones are more substantially constructed, so should hold up well. El Cheapo flip phone camera, but you get the picture.

Here ya go. Range report here.

The revised followers worked great, always stopping the slide from closing on an empty magazine. Only problem I had was that the magazine with the finger extension would not take 10 rounds, so I racked one and added one to the mag to get a run of 10 rounds. The standard magazine with the revised follower still loaded 10 rounds, a little tighter but it worked. Not a big deal, I guess, considering it is a range toy, not a SD gun. But for carry I would not want the finger extension as I am trying to minimize the size of the gun.
