My mag catches aren't wore down, I never had or have had the experience before and even try once in a while to pull the mag out to no avail. Was just a case of my not fully engaging the mag into the gun. And since it was in my shoulder holster (is a single piece of cordura with no stiffeners, and it's not likely my arm pushed the gun into my ribs and hit the mag catch....... tried it, can't do it). Even still, the main thing about this is to give the gun a very good grip (and looks pretty tacticly cool), but going one step further and giving the extra bit of security for your $70 mag................... I never meant it as a cheap way to fix a worn mag release problem, just as reliable security.

Yeah, it's not that the plastic ones wear down, it's just that they blow.
The metal ones grip much better, but they do slowly wear down the mag catch on the mag itself (metal grinding on metal). They fixed my lost mags problem permanently, but eventually (could be years...) they may wear down the mag itself.

Not saying I doubt you John, just clarifying that it's not my problem right now, and even if I went with metal mag catches, I'd still keep the rubber on my grips as added security. Post wasn't made to fix worn mag catches, it was made for *said* reasons.

As an aside, how much to replacement metal catches cost? If I was interested I'd look, but I'm not interested, considering my G19s get little use as it is.
