The black finish is all good by me. To my standards the paint looks to be a black satin and not a gloss. Either way I could care less. I had a box of Hornady SSTs in my truck and loaded all rounds into the mag.
First thing I noticed compared to the C-Product (CP) mag is how the top round sits on the white follower. The round looks like a F-16 ready to take flight and that's a good thing. My CP mag holds the round at a more flat position. Some of the rounds on the CP mag even hit the front of the mag right at the case mouth and that's a bad thing.
Secondly with the 20 rounds installed in this new mag I can strip it clean and all the rounds are under even tension. That's a good thing. Not the case with the CP mag. As I strip a CP mag clean some of the rounds fall short of coming to the top of the mag. Actually I have had some rounds just completely fall out. Almost as if the spring isn't strong enough to push the round to the top of the mag which is a bad thing.
Thirdly (is that a word?) the spring seems stiffer. I don't have a CP mag to compare it to but I would bet the springs have more tension.
I plan to hunt Sat. night and I'll let you know my real world outcome.
Thanks Shivesy, that's a good informative review.
