Luke, another fact to add to your Triple-K file. I recently had the chance to meet new forum member Markhepler... and examine his first Luger. Among the accessories was a magazine (stainless) with spot weld construction that is the earmark for Triple-K mags. He advised me that the mag functions in a virtual flawless mode at the range, BUT the holdopen operation is very erratic...
Upon removing the right grip, and examining the operation of the holdopen by this magazine compared to the other two original mags that he had, it became obvious, that the mag button on these nylon follower Triple-K mags is of a smaller diameter than a "standard" mag and unless the mag is manually pressed upward, it would not be a reliable source for engagement with the holdopen device. I suspect that his is true for all Triple-K mags of this type of construction...
How does the diameter of the follower button compare to your genuine original magazines?
