"Great Mags, holds a lot of gas and is really consistent with the FPS.
One HUGE problem, even though this can be seen as both good and bad. These mags will give an additional 40 to 50 fps boost when compared to the Nov or TM mags, and because of this you will shoot around 330 - 340 FPS, roughly 1.01 to 1.04 Joules, which, depending on the field you play at and its rules, will make it not allowed for CQC, either doing a 20ft M.E.D. or not allowed to use it at all.
Doesn't mean you shouldn't buy this though, an FPS boost for the mk23 is pretty good if you wanna slap a carbine kit on it, and getting your BB to your target faster helps a lot.
Buy these if your field doesn't care too much about CQC limits, and if you wanna slap a carbine kit or rifle kit on it.

"Overall these mags get a 5-Star rating for use in the Novritsch SSX23, they are awesome and well worth the money. These mags work great in the Novritsch SSX23 and I highly recommend them for this pistol. I shoot only high quality heavy BBs and had the chance to test these at the range and on the field. I tested these magazines against the stock Novritsch mags using 0.43 g BBs and these mags shoot an average of 18.5 fps *faster* than the stock mags. Also, I see complaints that these mags are only top-loadable due to a narrow feeding channel at the base of the mag but the mags I received in June, 2020 do not have this issue so perhaps the manufacturer has fixed the problem

"This mag works for the tm mk23 and novoritsch ssx23. Holds 23 rounds. Will have to load bbs from top feeding lips.

"Very good mags. They make a "click" when it grabs the BB in my TM MK23. I think it is because it is a little tight. Also, they only hold 1.75 to 2.25 full mags of gas for me. Might be because I loaded them in Mid summer weather but still...
10/10 Get these while you can!

"I have only used these in my TM mk23. For over a dozen games they have worked flawlessly. I use them with propane and .46g bbs. Highly recommend for the price.

"LOVE THIS MAG!!!!
Replaced my stock TM magazine with it. Retains well, holds gas all day, and otherwise does the job!

"I own five of these magazines. No issues. Do yourself a favor and ditch the original TM mag and get these instead. You won't be disappointed. 300-320 FPS with .20g bb's.
My friend also has five of these magazines and neither of us have ever had any issues with them. If you take care of them they'll take care of you. They do fit just a little more loosely into the pistol compared to the original TM mags, but it causes no issues in feeding, power output or reliability. As stated in some other reviews, the feed lips are plastic and tend to be a little tighter than the TM mags, which you might notice when pulling the trigger or pulling back the hammer. This magazine has no over-pressure valve like the TM mags, so it works well with propane.
Overall the best magazine for one of the best airsoft pistols.

"Best replacement mags ever for the TM MK23. The TM mag that came with mine always sprayed gas everywhere when filling and now leaks from the bottom even with a moon dog in but these hold gas perfectly and are super efficient with gas. My only problem is the lips seem a little weak and hard to load bbs into since the fill notch is too narrow to put bbs into so you're kinda forced to intricately put bbs in through the lip but definitely not a reason not to buy! Get these!

"both stock marui mk23 mags I had started leaking from the bottom.
propriety design of stock mags make it difficult for disassembly/repairs (but not impossible) do to a one way pin.
I opted for newer replacement mags, and got two of these for the same as one stock mag would cost.
pros:
1) fits perfect.
2) noticeably more powerful, as well as more willing to accept green gas.
2) half price as stock.
cons:
1) bbs do not load/fit from the bottom like they are supposed to. To be able to load bbs quickly from the bottom you will need to dremel a little bit out so that they may pass through. Not a big deal, but if you don't have a dremel than good luck speed loading the mag.
2) It does not have trades such as "hk", and does not look as nice neither.
all in all these mags get the job done, definitely worth buying for sure.

"The best magazine for your Tokyo Marui Socom MK23.
It is half the price of the Tokyo Marui MK23 socom magazine but takes green gas! I am not sure about the previous review as KJW valves have always been holding up better than some of the Japanese ones due to that Japanese guns are designed to shoot 280 FPS. Besides, valves are easy to switch out, and it is a matter of time you switch out the stock valve if you are a serious gamer. You can't find spare TM valves so you must end up using after-market valve anyways. Get this one!

"For this review I am only talking about the matrix line of mags for their Mk23.
Good mags but not as good as the stock mag that their Mk23 comes with; which is a shame. Their Mk23 stock mag is easier to load and is slightly more gas efficient and shoots like 20fps hotter. I own two of these spare mags and they are both slightly different from the stock Mk23; if you look hard enough you can see the slight differences. The thing I wonder is why? Why would they slightly modify the design of these spare mags when the stock mags are slightly better than these? Who knows but still some of the best Mk23 mags you can get; you probably will never have to worry about these leaking.

"good mag but BB's DO NOT FIT THROUGH THE BOTTOM TO BE FED LIKE A NORMAL MAGAZINE. It works fine but you need to load them from the top feeding lips. weird and awkward but not actually too bad.

"Great For the TM MK23
I have 3 TM mags and run them on propane/Green Gas (not made ONLY 134a) and average about 310 fps on a full gas fill. these mags here Must have a weaker valve spring because when I run these, my FPS jumps to close to 350, and i can only assume its a weaker valve spring allowing more gas to be expelled from the mag with the same amount of force from the hammer. but that's purely speculation. either way. 1/2 the cost and a little more power, You Can't Beat Them!
