I found the BDM to be an interesting pistol so I went out and bought one. Anyone who owns a BDM knows just how hard it is to find magazines for these and if you do, factory mags have gone for over $165 for a 15rd. I saw that Triple K is about the only manufacturer that still makes magazines for the BDM and for $35 I picked up one. I wanted to tell the rest of you to save your money. The mags from Triple K are junk. After removing mine from the package I found that it will not even go into mag well. Halfway in and it stops. It's surprising for a supposedly made in USA product to be made so out of spec that it is completely unusable. Figuring I just got a damaged mag I tried others and they also wouldn't fit, so here's the bottom line. Don't waste your money on these. Buy factory mags and pay the money for them and you'll be better off in the long run.

You are pretty much on target.. but sometimes Triple K is the only game in town. Sometimes their single stack mags will work... if it is an only source of mags you may not have a choice... don't bother with Triple K magazines for double stack...

I don't have a Triple K mag, but it would seem that the only places the mag could hang up would be if the grip screw were too long, or at the mag release. Have you removed the slide to see where the mag hangs up? The factory mags have a crease at the top right to clear the mag release. Maybe a minor tweak will get it working.

I recently found a website that sells Factory Browning BDM 9mm magazines for $35 each, but they're only 10 Round Factory Browning BDM Magazines.
