Get on EBay and find you some surplus solid carbide drill bits. They can get expensive so that’s why I recommend looking at suplus. You will have to have a rigid setup (drill press with a clamped vise for solid carbide is very hard and they will break under any side deflection.

Not all of us have forgot barrels or milling machines laying around sir!!!

There are guys who have those. We are clearly not those guys, we have drills. When I was a kid we didn’t even have those, we had rocks.

Nonliberal has fixed me up with a solution. Let him do it.

You know I thought about how pretentious and egotistical suggesting that you should all just use your milling machines may have sounded.
I apologize
If you send me the mags. I will cut them, not with the mill, but with laser beams and ****. Cause I gots one of those too. I'll take pics

Try to use a brad point drill bit. A brad point bit will cut a perfect round hole in sheet metal and will not catch on the sheet metal when it brakes through on the back side. Check out this video on grinding a brad point drill bit and has already been said the back side needs to be supported. Hope this helps. PM me if I can help.

I have two easy options open Thanks to the generosity of ODT members. I normally like dealing with projects I start. I might give it one more try but will probably wind up allowing people with the right tools to do it.

The mags came with a gun I wanted and I had to buy higher cap mags separately. It should work on these mags but probably not on some Beretta mags since the indention in located differently. I would be interested in hearing about any of you trying this.
