I purchased some Scherer high capacity magazines for my Glocks several years ago. I bought a .40, .45 and 10mm. The 10mm would only accept about 8 rounds and no more. I loaded the 28 round .40 and set it aside for a SHTF situation. I never loaded the .45 mag.
A few days ago I needed some .40 for my new Walther PPS, so I decided to take some from the .40 Scherer. The rounds were under NO spring tension at all! After taking a few out, I turned the magazine upside down and the rounds fell out. I noticed days after I loaded the magazine that it swelled up at the bottom, where the spring would be under tension. That kept the spring from expanding when I took the rounds out. I have done everything possible just to see if I could get the spring to expand and it absolutely will not.
This magazine would have caused a failure to feed or a gun jam had I needed to use it. I did keep it in my bedroom, just in case, but I planned to test it at the range before I put any trust in it.
Don't waste your money on these, unless they have been redesigned with a metal liner inside.
Have any of you purchased these? If so, what are your experiences with them?
