       I think it depends on the DESIGn of the mags, I used to have a Ruger 
P97DC, and I would hate to have had to count on it in a firefight, even the 
factory mags would jam 50% of the time.  But I have fired almost 4K through 
my 92FS, from 10 round, to 15 round, to 20 round mags, cheap reload ball, to 
Federal +P+, NEVER has it failed me.
     I know that MOST exchanges are less than 5 rounds fired, but I still 
feel better with 20, can't get that with a wheelgun.
