Magazines for S&W pistols have always been a total ripoff, whether they were actual S&W or aftermarket. Back in the 80s I bought a S&W 745 (SA only 645) for IPSC and of course had to buy at least 6 or 7 mags. At that time the only place you could get magazines for a S&W pistol was - S&W. And back then they wanted 25 to 30 bucks a mag.
