My Korean Glock Mags Are Going Bad

A couple or few weeks ago, I was at the indoor range, and I noticed as I was loading a couple of my 17-round Korean Glock magazines that something was odd.  The feed lips weren't holding the cases very well at the front.  Wasn't long before a bullet jammed against the barrel hood instead of going into the chamber.  The feed lips had spread out.


I went to the outdoor range after work to do some chronograph testing, and noticed that one of my 15-round KCI Glock magazines was not dropping free.  I don't know when or how it happened, but the top-front of the magazine had peeled away.


I guess I'm not really surprised that the mags failed, just a little disappointed.  My first post about the Korean magazines was back in 2010, so I would bet that each of these magazines has well over a thousand rounds through them.  They have been my primary range mags for years.
