Actually, ALL TSMG mags supplied by first Auto-Ordnance of West Hurley and now Kahr use a proprietary magazine release, which is elongated, thus not allowing the use of GI mags. The mags they supplied had an elongated hole to interface with the elongated mag release they provided.
Please don't ruin a bunch of GI mags by elongating the holes. Rather, round off either the top part or bottom of your magazine release so it is round, not oval. This way, any GI mags you pick up will fit the gun. First look carefully at the mag/release interface, so you can see where material needs to be shaved off the magazine release. Take off a little at a time until an unmodified, round hole GI mag pops in snug.

Good Luck
