Only the Ruger Factory mags work in his. I just figured Ruger did something in the design that would not let you use any mags but theirs but maybe there is something wrong with his. Don't know I guess?

I'd pull the mag catch and see that if there's some extra material from the casting on the catch in the area that mates up with the locking notch in the mag.

Did you try depressing the mag catch any while trying to seat the "other" mags?

In comparing the Ruger mags to the others; is there anything different about the locking notch, or the top left edge of the mag body?
