Do the mags in question have a "U-shaped" or rectangular notch in the back?

If its a "U-shape", some of the newer followers for the .40 S&W magazines ride higher in the nose than the older followers. I had a pair of the 1st gen mags for my Glock 35, and one of them does the exact same thing with the new followers, and one does not.

The "U-shaped" notched mags are all 1st generation, NFML. They only have metal on three sides of the magazine.

Ralph Arredondo (www.arredondoaccessories.com) makes a follower for the Glock .40 mags that work really well with aftermarket springs. I never tried one in the NFML variety mags.

I have a contact with Glock who has a large collection of older parts, and I might be able to scare up some older followers to see if they will work, or you could just get some new full caps for about $20 or so by EOM October.
