TangoDown's new Mk 3 mag

[Todd.K]

Not seeing the advantage or wisdom.

The closed bottom box should be stronger than any of the traditional open bottom designs. If that actually makes for a practical advantage is the question.

I would think you’d want the magazine to be the weak link, at least from what I’ve seen regarding kabooms/OOBDs….the mag is the path of least resistance for all that energy, and blows it out the bottom of the gun, away from the shooter.

I’d imagine have the magazine stronger would change something there….not targeting you specifically, just thinking out loud.

Exactly.

Does not dis-assemble for cleaning?

Yep, forget that nonsense.

"You are a NO-GO at this station."

Not really liking the chunkiness in the middle anyway, would interfere with some pouches.

Swing & a miss...I'll stay with 8 dollar gen2 Pmag perfection.

I'll go a little more for M3's... I'm trying to keep a matched set of "2 combat loads plus a third dedicated training" for each iron... and once we get Pedo Bob and his mag ban bent over the bench at SCOTUS (be real, we KNOW what WA Supremes are gonna say, they're a rubberstamp) I need to get at least one more set of windowed MCT to match the M4, one more D&H/GI-type for the C8 and three sets of four D&H/GI for the ASDW unless USAF has switched to PMAG too. (In a tight-squeeze survival kit, GI are a bit more compact.)

That's the real problem. I can hose out a mag to clean it. But if the thing won't go in and, more importantly, come OUT of my pouch, it's no good.

[Slater]

The weekend shooters will probably buy a few to try out.

Gen 3 magpies confound me in my pouches, over insertion stop sounds like a porn flick, a problem I wish I had somewhere else.

Not sure I ever tried a gen 3. Really I probably have only put a 30 in my guns for live fire a handful of times in the past 10 years. Mostly run Colt/NHMTG 20s. I should get up off the shooting mat more often.

You're already running the best mags IMHO, and stay low like a country boy.
