I received 8 mags for my P229 in .40 from AB Prototype today. I ordered 4 used and 4 very used mags. 3 of the 4 used mags look like they had never been in a pistol before and the 4th looks like it had been inserted but not fired. The 4 'very used mags are all newer looking than my existing mags. They had been fired nut not a lot. Those last mags were only $9 each. New P229. 40 mags are running at about $50 a mag when you can find them
