truth be told, I've not browsed the entire thread, but I'd like to add a little information that I just encountered:
yesterday, I picked up a MKII & the magazines that were included with it (20's) did NOT have the metal pin in them: I'm assuming this is one of the features of the so-called "new" style magazines?

Great pictures of the comparison.
I wonder if anyone has ever attempted to make an after market mag follower?

I was looking at a orange 5th gen Glock mag the other day and got wondering that. I seen the gray one in the start of the thread but don't recall ever seeing any others.
