Kadet Mag Question

[Blazin]

I have a new SP-01 Kadet kit, which came with two all plastic mags. I'm concerned about the longevity of these mags, particularly as they snap into the mag catch. Am I correct in assuming the all-steel #11601 Kadet mag would fit and be a better long term option? The 11601 is pricey, so wanted to ask before picking one up.

 It will not work.

It will not work.

Bummer. Thanks for the info.

It will not work.

I have no problem using them in my gun. It's the plastic ones that don't work for me they don't lock in whereas the metal ones give a positive lock and stay in place.

Interesting. SP01 and S2 kit doesn't have ejector, which in these kits is a part of the plastic magazine. What serves as ejector using metal magazines?

First thank you for making me figure out why the plastic mags don't work. I didn't bother to figure it out before because I have five metal mags and really didn't need to use these. I took one of the plastic mags and slowly inserted it into the gun with the slide back and looking down from the top. What I found was the ejector in the gun (sear cage) was what was keeping the mag to fully seat. There is a indentation in the plastic mag for the sear cage ejector and the ejector hits it. With a little work it could be fixed to be used. As for what serves as an ejector it is the sear cage ejector in the frame of the gun. I put some snap caps into a metal mag and watched as I pulled the slide back to see the case hitting the factory ejector. I've only have had a few problems with case ejection mostly stovepipes which maybe be caused by the ejector but otherwise the SP01 kit has has functioned fine using the metal mags I have.
