I purchased two followers from Alfonse. One is still new awaiting arrival of my 2nd mag. The other looks similar to yours and has also stopped locking the slide back after about 100 rounds of 45 ball. I'm going to keep it for emergency backup if I happen to break my original follower. I guess those actuators are sharp!

Give Al some time Bob, nobody wants these followers and other parts to work perfectly more than AL. He'll get to the bottom of it and get them running right.
Never met the man, hope to maybe next month but I sense much integrity and honesty.
Just a few bugs to work out, that's all. I haven't been out to shoot in way too long. I have a couple prototype 45 followers I intend to try but hasn't happened yet.

No complaints here, I've purchased several other items from Al, these are very high quality followers. Only problem is steel is harder than aluminum...lol.

I'll have to apologize, as I was mistaken. In previous post, I stated cm45 lakeline follower was 100%. The mag with it will not lock open last round or manually with empty mag. It appears it's not quite as wide where the pin is in the plastic follower. I had the mags mixed up. Pm 9 is ok.
Remember Muggsy. RIP Salty Dog. And the Tman

I went out today with my PM45 and shot 135 rounds. 1 mag with LL, one stock. The LL NEVER locked back on last round. Incredibly disappointing.

I didn't need the followers since my original ones were fine, but wanted to try them and I did experience no slide lock back at any time with the .45 followers.
I know that Alfonse wants to see what the problem is, but I haven't felt like fooling with them, yet. I've had a lot going on with medical and dental, besides my usual work around the house... and I'm a procrastinator.
I feel bad that I haven't tried taking picturews with the slide removed, etc., to see what's going on.

Alright, there are some hints here on what the issues with the .45 followers might be. I will do some measuring and analyzing tomorrow and see if I can get it solved. Thanks for the input and I will get it taken care of. BTW, they are off the market until this is solved.

I took some pictures of two each of my mags with the Lakeline followers and the stock ones. Pictures taken as follower reaches the slide lock actuator and then another after the mag is locked in place. The stock ones work and the LL don't.
First three of LL, then two stock ones.

The second pair... again first photo as follower reaches actuator and then after lock in place for each of this pair.
The slide lock pin is pushed in numerous times to be sure it's seated with each mag.
The rub marks on the followers were covered up with a Sharpie so I could tell if there was any additional marks being made.
In my testing, the .40 followers were chewed up pretty well and required filing to even them up.
The 9's were a little better... not quite so beaten up.
