Magnetic trops, none in 41 and 42?

There is a very good site for naval weapons here:

Under German torpedos of WWII is this info:

The failure of the German Magnetic Pistol and backup striker gear is well known. The Magnetic Pistol was withdrawn in 1940 and did not reappear until 1943.

So we should not use mags til 43?? Well we could but they won't be reliable?
