Funflyer I never noticed the divot until you pointed it out. Thanks!

Anyone, my 2 mags. that came with my gun have the divot on top of the follower. One mag has 25 or less rounds through it and the other less than 100 rounds.
Could it be that the mags. are manufactured with that divot in them?

Anyone with never-used mags, will you please take a look and let us know if they have this divot?

I can't figure out how this divot would improve functioning, so am wondering wether the divot is a manufacturing or engineering mistake.

I have one mag #1 That is the oldest, it has the divot. #8 my newest that
Big Green sent me does not have the divot.  Looks to me like that the
earlier plastic followers were formed from a faulty Mould.
Ideas?

I always assumed the divot is wear created as the last round is entering the chamber at that initial steep angle.

On my 2 older mags w 800 rounds each...a definite, pronounced divot.  With mags 3 & 4 , with < 100 rnds each, there is a small divot on each.  I polished 1 & 2 early on but have not done so with the 2 latest.  Nor have I clipped and trimmed the follower legs on the last 2, but I will when the Charlotte pistol gets back from the factory because of the mag release pin repair.
