Just wanted to give a quick update… I’m still slowly getting rounds through both my early production Pmags, and my test ones including my test smoke ones. To date, I still have not had a single malfunction from any of them. I have a couple of close friends who also have a number of early production mags, who also have had zero issues. I have not kept an accurate round count on all of them though, so my apologies for that. Put a few more rounds through the smoke ones this past weekend. Still chugging along. Most rounds to date have been GA Arms 55 gr FMJ, and M193. Hornady 75 gr TAP also is not a problem. For what its worth, my original test mag from back at SHOT, still continues to be flawless, though it is a little dirty and scratched up. I have not done any severe torture testing of them though, as there have been plenty of others who have covered that.
Of note, it was very humid, wet, hot, and pouring rain this past weekend when I was at the range. I notice no swelling of any kind or any changes in the mags. I was curious to see if the heat, humidity, and rain would have any affect on them. I didnt think it would, and I was right.
I still continue to be impressed with the Pmags. I have now loaded some up as my primary mags in my goto weapons. I know I dont have the round count through mine that other like Pat R. have, but just wanted to throw this little update in the mix.
Good to hear Bro, keep beating them down.
As a side note, IIRC, Hawkeye is running all 01-02-03/07 PMAG’s.
Thanks for the update.
Correct on the dates with one exception. I do have some 07/07 mags, if you remember that… ![]()
The smoke mags are cool. They do attract a few interesting looks at the range. Have had a few people ask to look at them. I still prefer FDE ones though. ![]()
So What’s the ETA on the Smoke P-Mags?
I have a shipment of FDE & Black mags on the way from Magpul…They mail them all the way to Kurdistan! I’m done with GI Aluminum mags- I have had to re-bend to many feed lips.
I personally like the FDE but smoked ones are on my to get list once they are out.
