Mine are ok to be honest, they hold back the slide reliably and I've no problems with them.
Saw in your post that you ordered 2 x 20 round mag adaptors, is that the kit that you fit yourself as I thought only the 13 round mags could be upgraded. I could well be (and I hope I am) wrong. I've 3 x 10 round mags I'd very much like to sort out.

FWIW...
I have 3, 19/20 round mags and only one still holds open, seems like after a lot of use the springs do weaken, the mag that still behaves definitely seems to have a happier spring (For the time being) But like Scott says they cant guarantee they will always hold open! That said I very rarely run the gun dry so it really isn't an issue!
I`m just happy I can stuff in more ammo!! I only got 11 in my Buckmark and 15 in my IJ 1911!!
Looking at the 10 rounder's (I`ve got 2), I don't think they can be converted

My slide stop spring seems to be quite strong!!, that might be a factor as to why 2 mags are not now behaving, I will have to find out how to strip the gun a bit further and check it out.
I`m sure it doesn't need to be as resistant as it is!!

Well, I stripped my Xtrim down, (Not the easiest pistol in the world) and tried a weaker slide stop spring, the gun just didn't like it! The spring rests on a cross bar and it needs to be quite strong to return the slide stop quickly and deep enough so as to not hinder the slide, what I did notice is that the sticky out bit (Tech term ) on the mag follower is VERY flimsy and the slightest wear has caused it to miss the sticky out bit (as before) on the slide stop. I think a little JB weld might be the answer here!!
I think I might strip it again in the near future and do a little video and post it.
