KWA PTP M9 Faulty Mag

[ishchuks]

M9 PTP I have read a few reviews that were flawless except for one thing, the magazine base plate. The issue where the Base plate falls off. I DID NOT drop my mag! Upon further inspection i found that one side of the metal "rail" on the mag itself was gone. I slid the plate off and looked that the side that was still intact and found how much of a flimsy piece of metal it was. It fell of just by touching it the the thickness of the rail is .5mm.  I do NDT (non destructive testing) for living. The welds were holding it on were EXTREMELY thin.
Just wondering if any one had the same problem since its a very popular sidearm.

I have had mine for a few months now and I have never had a problem with my magazines.

I have had my M9 for about a year now,and i have 3 extra mags. I have heard about this problem but so far so good.

for some reason it usually is the first mag that comes with it that is faulty, best bet would be to get a 2nd mag like i did and that second mag will go 50 rounds before running out of propane unlike the first mag as i was able to get only 8 shots

Ok, guys,, you must use green gas, otherwise your mag leaks, unless you know how to use propane properly (correct ratio of Gas and Oil), from horses mouth, (KWA USA), by no means I consider myself an expert on the subject, just telling you what I heard. 

So,  no smart reply please, no matter how tempting it is.

Well I JBwelded the brase back on there. That thing is on there and never coming off.
From what i have read KWA had this problem with couple batches of magazines. and a lot of them are still floating around the warehouses.
