Has anyone bought any of the nickle plated mags for the K40 Kahr? I did and I have to say I can not endorse them at all. First two mags came in about a month ago. I tried to load my favorite .40 S&W rounds, the 165 grain Golden Saber. The first round went in fine the second round got stuck in the mag tube and i had to take the mag apart to get it out. Now the 165 Golden Saber is a round with rough jacket parts sticking out slightly (even though the Kahr factory mags take them fine) so i tried 165 grain PMC FMJ and the same thing. The second round always jammed in the mag tube. So i sent the mags back with a short note describing the problem. About 4 weeks later, here come two more mags. Same problem! I tried some 135 grain Cor@bon ammo and some 155 grain Hornady and these round would go in the mags but just loading and unloading at the kitchen table i could tell the internal tube dimensions were way to small. I called ProMag (no 800 number-gripe number two) and a thickly spanish accented fellow told me no one else is having dis problem mon. He did not offer me my money back but said he would give me three mags for any other gun i had. Gee i hope they work better than the Kahrs did. BEWARE

Thanks for the heads up -- I've had a number of bad experiences with after market magazines and I now tend to be careful with anything that doesn't come from the original gun maker.

I had the same problem with my p40 covert, same manufacturer. I finally broke down, dug deep, and purchased 2 new mags from Khar. Man, are they ever salty.
 
I have some ProMags for my K9 and the only problem so far has been a couple of them will not lock the slide open.
