I have seen talk of someone potentially making steel magazines. But, as far as I know, it hasn't happened. Used 5-shots magazines are going for about $50 on eBay. New 10-shot magazines are $15-20; but, are considered less reliable. I haven't tried it yet; but, I bought a 10-shot one as a back-up and figure I could use it at the range to save the 5-shot for hunting.
