Mag Guts springs and followers

Anybody try out the Mag Guts magazine internals?

I've got the typical spring issues that the S&W Shield mags have where they start to bend and then won't lock the slide back on the last round. I know that S&W will send me free replacements if I contact them, but I'm very intrigued by the Mag Guts kits. I normally carry 7+1 with two additional 8 rounders for backup. I'm thinking of extending the 7 rounder to 8 to keep the flush mount, and then extending the 8 rounders to 10 as it only adds 1/4" in overall height to the mag.

I have read on the khar forums of people using them with success but I am a little leery of trying it on my CW380.

I bought Mag guts for my Bodyguard and LCP that I got rid of. Both mag guts broke in less than 100 rounds fired. Threw them in the trash.

Did they have the old style coil spring or the newer flat spring?

I have the new style in a few of my pistols and am very happy with them. I've never had an issue and have over 500 rounds through them. I would continue to buy them when needed.

It was a round coil spring but both followers broke in 2 pieces. Springs were fine.
