P232 owners, mag question

I don't remember mine having that, but i don't think its a big deal.

Mine has it too-not sure how it will change over time though, as I've only got about 300 rounds through the gun.

Is the follower plastic (it looks like it is)? My P220 mags have plastic followers as well and they all have a little worn area like that, and in nearly the same area too. I figure it's just normal wear considering it's plastic. Honestly I don't think it's an issue since it's such a minor indentation (not even an indentation really). Over the past 8-10 months I've put something like 3000-3500rds through my P220 and have never had a problem with my mags, and the followers on each all look like yours with the same wear area. Come to think of it, in that time period I can't remember one single FTF, FTE, double feed, etc ever happening that wasn't due to open tip JHP's being used with a Sprinco recoil reducer in the gun (switching back to the stock guide rod cured the JHP issue). I've never had any issue with FMJ's. I realize it's an apples to oranges comparison but, basically what I am saying is don't worry about it the mag will work fine.

I would guess that its probably just the case lip scraping your mag follower. My P232 mags have that as well and it has not gotten any worse.

Well, Son of A.....

I just pulled my spare mag out the desk drawer, unloaded it, and sure enough.......

Exactly as you pictured. I'll assume it's normal, because this magazine works just fine. No problems with it.

So I'll say normal and no problems....

Same Here

You know, I will not guarantee it … but I think they come that way.

As everyone else is saying, I too have the exact same markings, in exactly the same place as yours on my mags. And like everyone else, I haven’t had a single problem … My 232 is awesome.

So I'll say normal and no problems....

Me too, though it makes a good case for the steel followers available for the P232 mags. However I don't think the plastic ones cause malfunctions.
