I got a German manufactured Walther .40 S&W P99 QA made in 2000 (date code AA) from a friend of mine last week. He had already exchanged the clips for new ones before I got it (he had the orange-follower clips with feed problems - documented elsewhere, replaced with the latest blue factory clips for free).
I was out for the second time shooting with this today, and had 2 clips break on me. The first was while my friend was shooting, bottom broke out after 8 rounds, left one in the chamber and the last round dropped on the ground.
Another broke on me while I was pulling it out of the 2-clip mag holder (friction hold), the whole bottom broke off in my hand and the spring flipped out!
I put 100 rounds through it on an indoor range a few days ago, and we put 100 through it today. Didn't drop the clips on the ground either time. When I got home, I inspected the other ones (I have 8 clips total), and found another that has a crack in the plastic around the base where the other two broke .
I researched on the Internet for about 30 minutes and didn't see any other posts about clips breaking. Anyone else have problems??
Thanks...
