12 Year PMAG Test VR & Gen1, Gen 2, Gen 3 Differences

[@jamespollard1670]

Good stuff . I'm one who thinks a magazine is worthless if it's not loaded and my Pmags have been loaded for years without the cover on them . They all work fine and no failures with any of them .

[@FullLeadTaco]

agreed

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

even with the plastic retaining clips?

[@nickjm37fordel1]

Thanks Mike, learned some good stuff. You were certainly gentle with correcting your viewer :-))

[@RevMikeBlack]

I learned a lot from this video. You demystified the different generations of Pmags. Thanks.

[@FullLeadTaco]

Glad to help

[@leokoch1169]

The "little thingy that sticks out" you mentioned on the spine of the gen 3 is actually pretty important. It seats the mag correctly in the mag well preventing feeding issues. The gen 1 and 2 do not have that notch.

[@450moto9]

You forgot to mention that on the Gen 1 and 2 that the dust cover will snap on the bottom of the magazine for storage but on the Gen 3 it will not snap on the bottom

[@FullLeadTaco]

knew I would forget something 😁

[@wessmith5846]

Great video as usual. Don't let the trolls get to you.

[@txgreek3512]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, very informative 👍🏻

[@FullLeadTaco]

You're quite welcome

[@unclejim2330]

That guy must of bugged you. 😂 I like P Mags better than aluminum and yes have some Gen II windows also. 👍🇺🇸

[@FullLeadTaco]

lol, well I don't like being called a liar. 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨

[@glendavis9663]

Very informative. 👍👍

[@MrMosinNagant1937]

I had a pmag loaded for about 8 years in a storage unit that seen really hot days and really minus temps days and it fired just fine.

[@nicksaysboo]

Nice chops. You have great hair too anyways good video

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

the MOE GEN PMAGs have very little diffrences but the big one is deffinitly the window sizes just picked up a gen2 my self, even the plstic retaining clips don't break in long storage?

[@jackwebb5917]

Why does the Gen 1 window seem longer than the Gen 1 non-window?

[@FullLeadTaco]

optical illusion

[@gregt4270]

Date question. My gen 3 has a 7, 23 in a circle and arrow pointing to 8. Now I have had this mag for a long a time so I know it wasn't made in 23 so I would assume it was made 08/2007 so what does the 23 mean?

[@FullLeadTaco]

that number, I am not sure about. The date stamp is the one that looks kinda like a clock.

[@gregt4270]

Thanks

[@syrhc87]

Those are lot and batch numbers.

[@davidbell1619]

Bought 5 Pmag Gen 3 for FALs. None worked. Failed to feed,failed to cycle. Trash canned all 5.

[@GBall_Vision]

I've never heard of that, not for any platform. Very odd

[@Brothers2Keeper]

Wild that you’d just throw them out instead of just selling them lol. You could’ve recouped most if not all of your money.

[@LN997-i8x]

FAL's are far more varied than AR's in terms of magazine wells. This comparison is functionally useless.

[@Madmaxxxx1984]

You're a good man thanks for the information I was just sorting some of my old Surefire and P mags i had them loaded and stored away since 2008 or so and started numbering them and came across the different Pmags generations and found your video, Thanks.

[@FullLeadTaco]

Glad to help

[@97footballplayer]

So which gen is best? What gen should be avoided?

[@FullLeadTaco]

They all seem to work fine for me. If they break, call magpul and see what they can do for you.

[@Beardman56]

Non should really be avoided but generally gen 3 is going to be the best. All of mine are gen 2 just because I got a good deal on a bunch of them years ago and never had an issue

[@cw2a]

👍🏼🤘🏼💪🏼♥️👍🏼🤘🏼

[@FullLeadTaco]

😁

[@boozeandbullets2084]

forbidden brace on the table

[@FullLeadTaco]

10 years of using braces... bound to show up in videos

[@unclejim2330]

No worries. 🤭👍🕺🏻💥🔨

[@ryanmayphoto]

Magpul dose not stand behind their products and will not issue a replacement, refund, or even a partial creadit for manafactures defects on items that they sell. If it is defective you are stuck with it. Go with anything other than Magpul!!!

[@avi_har]

you sounds funny!
