I just bought one at a gun show, new, in wrapper, w/ green follower. No marking on the outside at all.

I was curious about how reliable these are in general.

This post received NO responses in the magazine forum so I fugured I would post it somewhere that gets a wider audience.

I heard they were made in Asia and that they suck.

This all depends on who made the magzine.
If irs a USA brand mazine its better than the ISA 30 rounders, but still not that reliable.
If its A british steel mag than they are very good.

Do you have a pic of it?

I have a weird (and I mean very weird) method for determining how good a magazine is.

I load it up with ammo, then shoot the gun. Ok, now pay attention cause this is where it gets really crazy....

I repeat this often. If the gun works, it's reliable. If it doesn't, the mag's not that good.

Tell them you read it here first.

Yes, but you can save yourself the trouble by making sure its not a USA mag in the first place.

I also have the same method of determining reliability, but cannot make it to the range until the end of the week at the earliest and frankly, the suspense is killing me.
