Took Willard's Astra 600/43 to the range to find out if he'd wasted his money on KKK Triple K magazines.
He hasn't.
Each magazine handled a full load of 7-rounds of 115gr Tulammo steel case with aplomb.
Fed no problem, locked to the rear on empty, the whole deal.
I still shoot the thing way low, but that's not a magazine issue.
It's still an unpleasant gun to shoot. 9mm isn't meant to be a blow-back round.

Triple-K is a little inconsistent. Some mags they do just fine, others not so much. It seems like they generally do better on simple single stack designs like this one. Go figure. I also think a lot of their reputation is based on some of the crappy AR and AK pattern mags they churned out before the 1994 AWB that people were saddled with for years until the ban sunset in 2004 (and old stock that sometimes resurfaces). Not only is entirely possible they've just upped their game a little over the years, a lot of companies probably cut corners in 1993 and early 1994 just to try to meet the massive pre-ban sales rush. During the ban so many mag companies (like Fed-Ord) cratered so there wasn't a lot of competition for many years until after the ban went away. Now there is a lot of competition so companies have to improve their product or they'll get pushed out.
ReplyDeleteNot only is the Astra kind of ungainly (compared to the stylish Luger, Walther P38 or Browning High Power for instance), there were other reasons why it didn't become popular like as you note it being kinda snappy. Though still super cool in it's own way for not being something you see all that often.
I've generally had good luck with Triple-K and often they're the only ones who have a magazine for some C&R guns. The one notable failure is the Colt Woodsman/Challenger magazine I have.
