K10 Mags

[Patriot]

I know a ton of people are having issues with the K10 mags not holding the advertised 14 rounds. I have been trying for a year to get the first one I purchased to hit 14 but it is currently at 13.

Then it gets weirder. If you look at the photo below, you will see 3 K10 mags. The one on the left was purchased through Midway last year. The one in the middle and on the right were purchased through Henning's last month. The middle one maxes out at 12 rounds. The right one holds 14 no problem. The one on the right feels like a very weak spring, and has a Tanfoglio base pad  It is stamped K10 and has a black follower. I'm wondering if someone had previously owned it, swapped some parts and sent it back to Henning's with the wrong parts??? I haven't had a chance to fire the two new ones yet. Has anyone seen a K10 with a Tanfoglio basepad and weak Tanfoglio spring?

I just sent Henning's shop an email about this to see what he says.

Every EAA mag I have seen or owned looks like the one on the right. That's odd!

I have 6 K10s...3 have the wedge style you show on the right, 3 have the thin uniform thickness style you show on the left. Two wedgies came from Intercooler, one of each style came with the gun (Witness Hunter), and the two remaining thin style came from Midway. I don't know about spring strength, and I seldom even attempt to load any of them with more than 10 or 12 rounds. To my utter astonishment, I was able to jam 14 into all of them but 1, which would only take 13. I've been loading 10 rounds each for quite some time now, and actually assumed none of them would hold more than about 12 reliably.

My only EAA is strictly a paper punch and not even an action game gun, so 10 is fine for me--I like to shoot 5- or 10-rnd groups and am not doing Bill Drills or anything, so even 12 rounds doesn't really help me out. This is a sure sign I'm just old.

The other moderately interesting thing is that, when several of the mags are loaded to 14 rounds, no round shows through the '14' hole indicator in the side of the mag.
