I purchased 2 new magazines from United Defense LLC at keepshooting.com on 1/20/17. Here is my review:
THIS GOES FOR ANY KS MAGAZINE THEY SELL.....ymmv
I received them on 1/27/17 and am less than satisfied.
Both mags were loaded with CCI Mini Mags and neither has been able to feed correctly.
They both jammed from the start. When it does feed it doesn't fully go into battery without a nudge. The FTF and/or double feed jam does not instill any confidence my gun will work when needed or safely. I have visually checked the magazine feed lips and nothing appears wrong.
I have not tried to adjust, bend, or modify the feed lips as I feel when buying new I should not need to modify to work.
To quote directly from their website and description:
"We've now been able to produce a cost effective and 100% reliable magazine for the popular Smith and Wesson M&P22 pistol."
I reinserted the single S&W factory mag and it functions as normal.
This handgun has been 100% reliable with the single factory magazine and multiple brands of ammo with no FTF or FTE's.
I have contacted the vendor and am currently waiting on a response.
They do have a 100% guarantee or I can get a full refund.
I do appreciate being able to return but what I really want is a couple of functional magazines....
I have manually run through a few mags.
It seems to have gotten better but 1 mag still has issues.
Problem @ :45 mark
Have emailed several times with no response.
Subsequent research reveals Keepshooting.com has a less than stellar reputation.
Seems they delete or hold back any negative reviews of their products.
Customer service isn't there.
I have to pay return shipping for a defective item? Not worth my time and I'll take it as a learning experience. In the end I will try to modify the feed lips on these "New" magazines and maybe, just maybe, I can get them to be reliable enough for range use.
My recommendation for Keepshooting.com is to stay away and shop elsewhere for a product that actually works when new.
Since my review of the product hasn't shown up on site I will post it here:
S&W M&P22 Magazine - KeepShooting Brand
Your Review (submitted on January 31, 2017):
I ordered 2 M&P 22 12 round magazines from KeepShooting.com.
Out of the package both magazines jammed. After cycling through many rounds, approx 100 ea. mag, one mag seems to function OK. The other mad still fails to feed correctly and fails to fully go into battery without a nudge.
Ordered on 1/20/17. Sent an e-mail the day I received the items, 1/27/17, and have not received any response after 4 days. 15 days to return an item. Best not to contact them through email.
For the cost of the mags it isn't worth it to pay shipping back for a return.
