It would have been about 4-5 years ago. Only dealt with 9mm Beretta mags.

Mags were clearly marked Check-Mate.

The coating may have been an issue, however, they seemed out of spec in regards to the baseplates (wouldn't fit into the weapons) and the feed lips seemed to be out of spec. If they fit into the weapon they wouldn't feed more than 4-5 rounds (of FMJ!) before it jammed up.

The Check-Mates were id'ed as the problem and pitched. The rest of the mags had few if any feed issues.
