great info guys, and it appears to me that the Mec-Gar blue followers do load easier (the stock mags followers seem to tilt back and forth a bit, could be due to the friction). 

Follow up question (probably a post on this already but...) when putting CZC mag extension on are the they flush with the grip?  I assume new springs are in order as well?

You can wax the insides and outsides of your magazines with car wax to slick them up, too.  And keep them from picking up dirt so fast (dirt/dust won't stick to wax like it will to oil) and they won't be as quick to rust from sweat/rain either.

Just take them apart, strip the oil/grease off the inside/outside metal surfaces and put a couple coats of carwax on them.  I've used Nufinish on CZ75, M&P and now FNS magazines.  I put two coats on, letting one coat dry for several minutes (I was doing 4 to 8 magazines at a time) before putting the 2nd coat on.  I come in from outside, pull the magazine out of the IWB holder and wipe the sweat off it and set it in the cabinet till the next time I go outside.  Most of last summer the P01 magazine (spare) would come out of the holder wet/sweaty and I'd wipe it off with a paper towel before putting it up for a few hours and then repeat.  Every day, day after day, no oil/wiping done and they shined like freshly oiled magazines every time I dried them off.

The was helps the rounds inside slide down (loading) and up (unloading/feeding) and the follower, also, easier.

Forgot to add in my previous post that the +10% Wolf springs also made the slide stop move fully upwards in the notch on the slide, as it should have to begin with.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?
