I bought a brand new Ultra CDP II. It had a few hiccups in the first 50 or 100 rounds.

I'm up to 300 now with FMJ and it's running like a clock. If the next 100 is flawless, I'm gonna start testing some JHP's.

I know this question is directed to TAM but here's my take, maybe TAM can confirm or deny.

Plastic followers glide more smoothly inside the steel magazine.
Here's a snipit taken from Wilson Combat...
Fiber-Fill Nylon Self-Lubricating Follower Provides Smooth Round Feeding

Also, the follower in TAM's picture is "taller" than most steel followers which is more stable
and not susceptible to "tipping" forward or rearward inside the magazine resulting in more
reliable feeding.

What say you TAM?

Thank you.

While everything you said makes sense, what about the follower breaking? I can think of several things that MIGHT cause a plastic follower to break... dropping the weapon (heaven forbid), spring tension + the impact of firing the weapon, etc.

Again, I'm not nit picking. Just trying to learn.

Order them with these followers:

I'm gonna raise the "new guy" flag (for me, not TAM) on this one.

Why would you want what appears to be a plastic follower?

Faced with the option, I would have bypassed that and gone for stainless steel. Seeing a respected forum member recommend those makes me question my logic.

Thanks.
