I have a pre war Colt Woodsman and one magazine. Original magazines go for $100 or more on Gunbroker so when I saw Triple K sells a repro magazine for this model I bought one for $33 plus tax. it was loose in the magazine well and the profile of the magazine body is slightly off from the original Colt magazine but I hoped it would feed anyway. It didn't. About every 3rd round would jam going into the chamber. Hoping it would work in I kept at it until about the 20th round I heard a bang-pop and my hand was wreathed in smoke. The round feeding into the chamber apparently had gotten cock-eyed and the slide edge hit the rim and set it off before it was fully chambered plus the top round in the magazine detonated when the chambering round let go. Damage is a cracked right grip and the extractor and plunger got popped out of the slide. Fortunately I found all of the extractor assembly laying on the table and didn't lose them. Pissed me off mightly.
When I was first getting into the shooting game in the 70s Triple K magazines were considered a joke. I had hoped with modern manufacturing technology their quality would be better but I was mistaken. Don't bother with their magazines.
