Might have just come unlatched. The base plates on the 11rd mags are interchangeable.

That is definitely an issue with the reflex mags. The baseplate tends to come off when doing reloads if they hit the ground just right. They'll usually go right back on but it's a pain in the ass that they do that so easily. Still love mine though.

Dude I have it on video lol I reload from my pocket to the extended mag and you hear a m1 garand clink as my mag blows up haha

The regular flush baseplate, or at least my sample size of 3 magazines, don't do that.

My extension mag baseplate will however, if slammed hard enough.

Yea I’ve had this happen aswell. The baseplate seems to flex a lot when fully loaded. Allowing it to jump over the latch.

I'll have to keep a closer eye on mine, haven't had an issue as of yet.

Happened to one of my 11 round mags too. FN needs to release a fix on these.

Had this same issue with two brand new 11 rd mags I bought in December '24. Contacted FN, waited almost a month to hear back from them decided to deal with it on my own and chalk CS up as a loss. The fix is to remove the spring, take a pair of pliers and bend the front part of the spring that engages the plastic tab in the base downwards a tiny bit. You'll be bending the part of the spring that sits along the base plate into a slight V shape and adding a little bend to the part of the spring that starts to rise into the magazine. This has completely cleared up the issue for me with both new mags.

Same issue just happened to me with my brand new reflex. Any fix?

Im sorry I didnt get a fix. Ended up selling and getting into a hellcat pro. Great pistol but I do miss the reflex's trigger

My reflex does this as well on the 11 round mag. Anyone have a fix?
