Hi all,
I have just over 2,000 rd through my P365XL now and I wanted to pick up some more magazines. The original magazines have held up well. I have five magazines and they have a black finish that has almost an orange peel appearance.
I ordered two magazines from Academy Sports and they arrived today. In the pictures the middle magazine and the larger magazine are the new ones, with an example of the older magazines being the last one.
The larger magazine has almost a blued finish, without the orange peek appearance of the old. The new magazine in the middle has almost what seems like a phosphate finish that frankly looks poor (out of the box there are already some marks and I haven’t inserted the magazine yet).
I generally don’t care about cosmetics. The last time I’ve seen variation on magazine finishes like this is in the Korean M1 Carbine magazines I have that were imported at different times. The blued finish doesn’t bother me, the brownish phosphate finish kind of does. It doesn’t seem like it will hold up that well.
Has anyone seen this with other SIG Sauer magazines? In literally dozens of pistols I haven’t seen this much variation in finish in magazines that came from a single manufacturer.
Thanks,
