Here are several things to be aware of with plastic magazines.



While owning a transferable M10/9 (uses the same mags as the M11), which many came from the factory with plastic (zytel) magazines, it is well known that a magazine is a critical part of the gun. Get a poor or non-functioning magazine, and the gun quickly turns into a useless paperweight or at best, a single shot.



Aside from cracked feedlips, you also have to watch for bolt wear on the mags.



And the bodies often swell. Which can also cause mis-feeds and mags that don't drop free.



I understand that plastic magazines are cheaper and faster to manufacture while bringing in a lot of profit, but a good steel magazine, or aluminum magazine, or even steel reinforced plastic magazines are always going to be better in the long run, and should also probably outlast a plastic mag 3 to 1.



If someone were to make an affordable metal stick mag for the scorpion, or even perhaps a small drum, CZ would sell very few plastic mags because no one in their right mind would continue buying them. They only have the market cornered on them right now because there isn't an alternative.



But the more popular the scorpion becomes and the more people that complain about junk factory mags, the sooner that a good aftermarket company will realize there is a lot of money to be made and will do it.



Unfortunately, with the upcoming election, and the uncertainty of the future of 2A, manufacturers are leary to undertake such a project right now for fiscal concerns seeing a return on their investment in R&D and molds, and getting tooled up to make them. That's just reality. If it happens at all, it won't be before the election. That much is a given.
