I am in the Market for 10 Mags in the Next 2 months. Should I look at PMAGs or USGI Mags. I have 4 PMAGS on backorder but I do not mind getting 10 more if I find them.
only handled the pmag at SHOT but feedback from real deal users/trainers indicates that it is at least on par with USGI mags (and with a better follower) and more than likely out performs USGI mags. for training and potential hard use and the generally accepted quality of magpul’s work, i’d say go with the magpul.
Thank 1st Sgt. I will look at the PMAGs more. Black or OD Green for me. My favorite color is OD Green so if i could just get 10 more OD Green ones I would be set. 
I recently got some block 2 PMags from Grant - I have not yet run these through a class, but I’m more or less a believer. In fact I think these make every other mag out there obsolete.
It’s funny it took us so long to get a decent polymer mag when they’ve been available for AK’s for a long time…
The problem with making the for the AR that the AK did not have was the AR design mandated the feed lips must be thin so there was no room for a steel insert like on the AK mags.
The Thermolds came close to doing what we wanted 20 years ago. I am looking forward to my PMAGS.
My son had this to say:
The Magpul magazines are actually my favorite, because they are lighter and fit snugger than anything else. I even did a few things that are known to cause double feeds just to see if they would, and even moving the magazine during high rates of fire didn’t cause a jam.
He also has the expensive H&K mags as well as various others. I won’t have an opportunity to test them until the end of June. But I take his comment as a good recommendation and I’ve ordered some more Magpul mags.
I have owned all sorts of USGI mags, SS mags, Thermolds and HK mags. The PMAGS are my mag of choice and what I am using. I also just complete the Vickers/Hackathorn low light class with them and they functioned perfectly.

Pmags. Period.
agree +2
Believe the hype. PMags.
Wow I knew Magpul was good but dang.
If you haven’t seen them already…Do a search on youtube.com for pmag test. It’s worth the watch.
How long until your backordered PMAGs are shipped? I suggest waiting until you get your 4 PMAGs, do some torture testing of your own, and buy what works best; Magpul, HK, USGI, or otherwise. Just make sure to let Drake know why if you decide not to go with PMAGs!
Yeah I’ve seen that. Its cool I guess. It would be a lot cooler if they shot the mag after instead of hand cycling.
so who here as put more than… oh lets say 1500 rounds through one?, besides nick;)
Where’s Stickman?
Its not that I don’t think your mags are the heat, If they’re on par with the rest of your stuff I’m sure they’re almost revolutionary. But Still I’d like to hear some real life shit from some trigger pullers. Beta testers are good too. Stickman teased us enough before shot its the least he can do:p
What can I say? Stickman is a bastard. Do a little Google search - something new was announced in the last couple days…
you’re just as bad as Stickman. Do you have a link? My GooFu is kinda weak at 2am.
I’m waiting for the TAN/Coyote Windowed PMAG

Plus come on look at my rifle – I’m like Rich’s posterchild…
