All my magazines work just fine...even the C-products ones. The most I have had to do was to lightly stone the inside of the feed lips of the magazine to remove the very slight burr. I don't accept magazines that work "most of the time" any more than I accept brakes on my vehicle that work "most of the time". Same idea for parachutes, fire extinguishers, life jackets, seat belts and other devices.
Magazines are simple devices once the engineering, angles, internal and external dimensions are all worked out. There is no reason why a properly designed and maintained magazine shouldn't work 100% of the time (if it is fed good ammo).
Magazines with bent feed lips, dents in the side, feed lips that have been "re-adjusted", dirty magazines, magazines with weak springs, broken welds, and so on are fairly common problems. Rifle and pistol magazines are no different than brakes on an auto. Occasionally, they wear out, or something happens to them. That is when you repair, or replace them.
