I really love the symmetrical locking - spreading the forces to 60° spacing should spread the stresses better than two rollers 180° apart (not that I'm sure that's all that necessary with 9mm, it surely doesn't hurt anything).
I also really like the dedicated skeletonized "STANAG well" 9mm magazine. If you mix up this with your 5.56 or .300 magazines, well, maybe complex machines with moving parts aren't for you - Bad Primate!
I do worry about the wear on those ball bearings. Seems like you're putting a lot of force concentrated on a very small contact patch. But, we mastered making affordable, high quality, tight tolerance ball bearings DECADES ago, so presuming they used a standard industry size, alloy, and heat treat, replacing them as wear items shouldn't be a major issue.
