I’ve heard scuttlebutt about stoppages and feeding problems with some M9 pistol mags in the Gulf. Are these related to contract mags or original Beretta mags. I’ve seen mags marked “PB 9 para Made in Italy†and “PB 9 para Made in USAâ€. I presume these are original equipment Beretta manufacture. I’ve not seen, but have heard of contract mags with a stamped baseplate instead of the cast aluminum of the Beretta mags. Are these Checkmate manufacture? Are there other contractors? How do you identify the substandard magazines? I’ve some family in the Gulf that tote M9's and I’d like to send them some â€best available†mags if they have been issued anything unreliable.
