I haven't ever used the USA mags, and have never heard anyone recommend them, for this very important reason:

They are all metal, and will chew up your polymer magazine catch. Then, when you least expect it, your mag falls out, and won't stay in. Unless they make their mags differently than the ones I've seen, watch out. Good luck.

Neither one will work well, one will just not work with 3 more rounds. Sorry, thats the best that can be said for USA magazines. They are probably a front organization for Handgun control, figuring if we buy magazines that don't work, they've disabled the gun!
