NEW Stribog CURVED mags! We put them to the test.

[@Militaryarmschannel]

At 5:40 in the video you will see a live round pop out of the ejection port when I insert the magazine. That's because I had just drop tested the magazine and it had lost control of the round. I didn't see it not properly seated before inserting it into the gun so when I seated the mag, it popped out. Rounds will pop out of most any magazine after being dropped while fully (or partially) loaded. Thanks everyone!

This makes sense. The HK MP5 started with straight mags and then swapped to curved mags to fix reliability issues.

[@Militaryarmschannel]

Precisely. You can make straight mags work but it’s very challenging.

Glad this got resolved. I bought one and haven't had any issues with the straight mags but picked up the curved mags for JHP security. They have run hollow points flawlessly. Love this gun

He definitely had issues but this issues are not as common as the video might lead you to believe. I've had one for a couple years and the only malfunction I've ever had was when I was switching over to colt mags and the adapter let the mags move to much

If any of the three don't agree, I wait, since they all seem to have the ear of the manufacturers and get recommendations into next gen models. Worked for me so far

As far as I know the gen 1 and 2 had the same lower receiver. Gen 2 had a different buffer pad system while retaining standard blowback action and a non reciprocating charging handle. If I had to guess, curved mags would work fine in gen 2 also

My A3 is surprisingly accurate. It is so easy completely eat away the center of the target ,even while shooting quickly.

I am really glad to watch your testing and assessment. I've had excellent reliability with the straight mags but so many others had countless failures that it is a relief to see that the curved mags should resolve function issues. The Striborg is an impressive PCC, very accurate and robust. Good that it will now have the essential reliability needed for use beyond a range gun.

[@FlatEarthFighter]

I also was hesitant to buy one because of all the issues, until I heard the curved mags fixed the problems. My A1 came with all curved mags, I haven't shot any factory ammo through it, only my hand loaded 24 grain hollow points (very accurate rounds) and 24 grain solid lead coated round nose. I also load very light loads to reduce recoil like competition shooters, 3.8 gr of titegroup powder, and I've had zero failures even bump firing a full magazine in less than 2 seconds, this gun is a blast to shoot and very accurate, with an excellent trigger right out of the box

[@M9A1MAN]

I just bought a A1. I had only one FTF on my first mag through it. It was the last round on the magazine. After that I oiled the gun a bit since I didn't do it out of the box and proceeded to fire another 200 rounds through it. No issues. That was shooting 124gr +P Gold Dots, and 115gr reloads from LAX. I was impressed with it. What I recommend to everyone is to oil the gun a bit before shooting and shoot a few boxes of +P through it to break it in. That sucker had a pretty stiff action out of the box. BTW this was all with the curved mags.

HK had this same problem with MP5 mags decades ago. The straight mags don't dig 9mm but they work great for 10mm & 45.

[@mfritz2087]

In terms of hollow points, this thing has been picky for me. I tried Speer gold dot and Federal HST and neither fed reliably. Then I switched to Norma MHP 108gr all copper projectile and never looked back. It cleared 100 rounds of it no problem and the longer barrel gives the smaller grain a little more velocity for expansion purposes.

[@ppmnox]

agreed. 147gr hollow point isn't feeding reliably at all in mine, but ammo with a bit more zing seems to work fine. Interestingly, 158gr fiocchi (ball) works perfectly. Thus, I think it's the combo of subsonic + hollow point which is causing the issue.

[@yotatech]

Great video. I too have the SP9A1 Gen 2 and had problems and had the first gen mags, and then the third with metal brace and black followers, and that did not help my issue of having failure to eject spent casings. A guy on a Facebook Stribog Magazine Issue group told me to do was to email Global Ordnance and request the free lighter bolt spring. That solved my issue 100%, but I still bought eight of the curved mags as I like how the rounds stay flat as they rise up in the mag. So if you have issues like I did, get that lighter spring for the bolt. My Stribog now is 100% reliable.

I have found with my stribog about the easiest way to salvage the use of the straight stick mags is to down-load them by 10 rounds. using the 30 round mags with 20 rounds I seem to have eliminated any issues. Is it perfect? No. Does it allow some use of mags you already own? Sure does.

[@mikemorgan4250]

100% agree on this.

[@Seasniffer1969]

Imo pick one and train with it. Your reloads will be off switching between the mags. 99.9% chance that's never going to matter for real world application but why waste time training with 2 different shape/textured mags for 1 platform. Honestly I'd try to sell them at a gun shop or something. Get what you can get from the old version and just move on to the curved ones.

best review on their curved mag

[@vincentvega3756]

I was on the fence between the Stribog and Scorpion for my 1st PCC. Just based on asethetics and the fact the Bog has an Aluminum lower VS the Scorpions composite I was favoring the Bog. After issues came out, Ive been in a holding pattern and started to lean towards the CZ. But now...

[@de3481]

@vincent vega I have the Stribog, CZ Scorpion, and PSA AK-V. The Stribog has an aluminum upper with a polymer lower. I have mags from CZ, PGS, Magpul, and PSA for the CZ and PSA, so I tried the Lingle Aluminum lower for the Stribog that uses Scorpion pattern magazines, with the added bonus of being able to use AR pattern FCGs and grips, but the tolerances in the Lingle lower to accommodate differences in the CZ, PGS, Magpul, and PSA mags was too loose so I returned it. Lingle has a new Gen2 Scorpion lower, but from what I've seen, the A3 Tactical Gen2 Scorpion polymer lower for the Stribog is a much better lower and is less expensive than the Lingle when compared head to head. I almost bought a pre-order A3 Tactical Gen2 lower from Rainier Arms a few days before GO announced the curved Stribog mags. Now I'm undecided whether I want to try my luck with the A3 Tactical lower for compatibility with the CZ and PSA mags, or stay with proprietary, but curved mags for the Stribog. With MAC's endorsement, I'm leaning towards the curved mags.

So glad to hear this. Due to the positive feedback so far of the curved mags I picked up my A3 yesterday. I held off for so long. Now with your feedback with all the problems you had makes me a lot more hopeful for it. Got the one with the telescopic tailhook brace and not sure how I feel a pout it. Feels a little awkward but I haven’t fired it yet. Plan to put the short stroke dampening kit in it to make recoil even lighter.

[@airborneivan]

I feel the same way. I believe these mags to be the answer to the issues of the Stribog platform, which I always said was the Achille's Heel of the platform. Not only to they load better but you can feel they feed better when you drop the bolt as opposed to the stick mags. They finitely address the polymer issue as the stick mags felt cheap and flexed quite a bit. These save me from selling the gun which I love but hated the mags.

[@Axe_six-six]

sold my stribog A3 a month after buying it since it was FTE FTF all over the place even with the lube and oil mods, got the scorpion and very happy. I did like the stribog's ergo much better than scorpion though, Maybe it'll give it a try again

How did you feel about the Stribog's metal lower VS all composite w/ the Scorpions??

[@underballbutter]

Fuck yes. I know I was rooting for Grand Power to resolve their reliability issue. Makes a great argument to buy it after your CC pistol first over an AR.

I'm glad the problem was the mag. Their delayed blowback system is pretty cool.

Good review! Sold me

The two polymer A1 straight mags (no steel) I just got with my firearm from PSA don't seem to have any feeding or loading issues. I do wonder about the durability problem. They also gave me one curved mag. All ran perfectly so far with 8 different ammo types, Federal 115, Federal 124, PPU 124, Blazer 124, Ammo Inc 124 JHP, Hornady 147 XTP reloads, Xtreme 124 brass jacket reloads, and Sig V-Crown 147 reloads.

I already converted my lower with one from A3 tactical to run scorpion mags. However I wish GO/GP would do a magazine exchange. I have the 3 mags the gun came with and two additional stick mags with metal feed lips. I would like the curved mags to possibly run the gun in its original configuration. The other ones....not reliable mags. GO is an awesome company imo.
