Robar applies a matrix coating of nickel-phosphate and teflon. The nickel provides wear resistance, and the teflon, of course, reduces friction. I read that 60% of the springs energy was used to overcome friction in a Luger magazine due to the angle feed. I figured reducing friction had to help the magazine work better. I have one magazine with a black teflon coating that does indeed work better, than one not coated. Disadvantage, is that the black teflon shows every scratch brilliantly! I hope this one functions as good or better...
