They do not take calls, instead the prefer email, so I emailed them this:

I ordered a Magnum Research MAGFA915 magazine from your website, UPC 761226086109. I was sent the incorrect magazine, MAG915. Giving ManVenture Outpost the benefit of the doubt, I opened the manufacturer packaging and found the magazine did not even fit in the gun.

The exact same order placed previously in October (Order #1) delivered the promised product, however this recent order did not. I advertised your product(MAGFA915) and price on a forum I frequent, in which several members of the forum purchased MAGFA915 magazines; I will be updating them on how this situation is handled.

Thank you,
guymontag

That sucks! I hope they can straighten it out for you or refund your money.

Thanks! Three minutes after emailing them, I received this in response:

guymontag,
So we have you to thank for all these orders that received the wrong item! It seems we got an entire batch of the wrong magazine and have been returning them like crazy the past 2 weeks. I'll get you an RMA for this and I apologize for the inconvenience.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or need anything else.

I replied with my appreciation and I will now await the RMA. I'll update if myself or anyone else encounters any further problem. Back to topic!

meh.. good to know. I'll keep my eyes open for delivery and will advise. At least they seem to be taking care of the problem.

Quick question , those who have ordered and received the mags can tell me if the base plates are metal or plastic. Got some from CTD but not sure if they are correct. I will know tomorrow if they fit the PPQ. If anyone has any pics I would appriacte it.

[DKW]

The correct Magnum Research mags should have the plastic baseplates like the Walther mags.

Yea that is what I thought and as soon as I saw what I got from CTD I knew they where wrong.

I've linked some pictures below. The angle of the mag is totally different than the Walther produced mags and the height is a good 1/2 inch more.

So either a) my new PPQ (serial starts with FAK) has a totally different mag well, b) everyone on this thread that said these mags work perfect is crazy, c) CTD totally screwed me and relabeled a different product or d) i'm completely incapable of loading a magazine into a firearm

Looks like I'll be trying to return this to CTD and ordering the $50 mags direct from Walther/S&W.

UPDATE: rechecked the actual model # I ordered, and it's MAGFA915...vs what they sent me which is MAG915...they messed up

I made this exact mistake, these came up as MAFPA915, but look just like yours, very disapointed. Returning them today

Yep, wrong mags arrived. I sent the request for RMA and will be sending these back.
