Misc future of tuf-22 magazines?

So based on some threads here and CGN, pretty much the last shipment of the HC3R tuf-22 magazines has come and gone.

Combining that with Dlask officially closed, are there any plans for another company to make something similar? Realistically, couldn't someone just make new shells for bx-15/25 magazines that have the same notch?

Otherwise as of right now the only other option is u/SpectreBallistics's 597 adapter and their receivers come cut for Tuf-22 magazines.

There was a thread on CGN a few months ago where I believe CSC and one other company (cannot remember who) admitted they are working on their own flavours of tuf-22 magazines.

You're not missing much with the HC3R/Dlask Tuf-22 magazines. The QC is poor (ive seen a bunch with messed up feed angles and feed lips straight from the factory), the mags are massively temperamental when you load them. The stripper clip system causes more harm than help IMO. The handle on the side for pulling the follower down is a great failure point as well, if you bump it and any tension is released there's a better than even chance the mag is gonna malfunction. These things can all be suffered through if you're just plinking at a shooting bench but if you wanna run them for a match or know that the $70 mags you paid for are reliable, they are not the answer.

I agree. The only part I can't stand about these mags are the stupid clips and how bulky they are because of it. Plus the protruding reloading assist tab. Would be much better if they change the follower button to resemble a GSG-16 magazine, where the tab is recessed and it's impossible for you to accidentally bump it and cause a failure.

It would for sure be a good start, though I would prefer just no open sides at all. 22lr is finicky enough without introducing debris into your magazines. I'm really hoping the mags these other companies are having made are gonna be worthwhile and reliable.
