Steel mags bad for MAC's?

I recently purchased a Cobray 11/9mm & 12/380. I noticed in the manual it states not to use steel mags and how they won't be responsible for any damage to the gun caused by using them. Are the steel ones THAT bad for these weapons or is that just a C.Y.A. sentence from the company? Any body have experience using steel mags in MAC's?

  Toolman is correct. I use grease gun mags in my M10. Never had any problem. Sounds like they want you to buy the mags they had in storage.

  No man in his right mind will play with a gun. I've seen show-offs doing fancy spins and all that. No real gun-fighter ever did. With a hairtrigger, he'd be likely to blow a hole in his belly. L'Amour

  Original Guns used steel mags, the Polymer (Zytel) mags were a later "innovation" and can split The are softer than the gun so I dont think they could "hurt" it but I
  
  Never heard of a problem caused by a metal mag in a MAC..I think the others are correct its a CYA..
