I have Trekker mags and John Reed metal mags and like them both. If pushed I would lean more towards John's mag. just because its steel and seems a bit smoother in operation than the Trekker.
Yeah, I got my sons each a John Reed Magazine. Ended up with the Trekker for me, because I'm cheap...also got a modified 514 mag that is ok, but not flawless, in operation.
