PROMAG FIVE SEVEN MAGS SUCK!

[@owen8329]

one of the issues i’ve found with my pro mag for my 5.7 is the lip not catching the round completely leaving just the rim grabbed allowing the round to kinda pivot and get all fucky, i recently removed the bottom and flipped the spring from left to right and it seems to have somewhat improved the issue. give it a shot it might work for you too

[@TerriblyTactical]

Will do! Appreciate the tip! Thanks for watching.

[@dontammasino2250]

I had the same problem it jam up in my gun

[@TerriblyTactical]

Yeah pro mags are super hit or miss

[@SquidGunman]

Yeah, I always avoid all shit Pro Mag. I’ve had really good luck with the company Mec-Gar as far as after market handgun mags.

[@TerriblyTactical]

Yeah mec gar is actually oem for most companies like Beretta, cz, and sig

[@SquidGunman]

@@TerriblyTactical Good to know!

[@briandavis9441]

They don’t sell 5.7

[@OnlyH0va]

I can’t even get the 11th round in my banshee bro and it’s pissing me off so much

[@TerriblyTactical]

Damn that's rough

[@OnlyH0va]

Update: I’ve took the spring out and stretched it out a bit and now it fits 15 rounds but now the spring is about 2 rings longer then the FN spring…I’m thinking about snipping it by 2 rings and seeing if that would let me fit the extra 5 rounds..thoughts?

[@Hajile1107]

Cmmg 10 round extentions are garbage too

[@TerriblyTactical]

Is that so?

[@retroreem1486]

Man I took mine to the range and idk what happened but after one shot all of the rounds got loose inside the mag and it sounded like maracas

[@TerriblyTactical]

@@retroreem1486 no good

[@ericreyes696]

Can you disassemble those magazines?

[@TerriblyTactical]

You can from my understanding yes

[@JayyMoney-vr7nv]

@@TerriblyTacticalhave you tried swapping a 20 round fn mag with that pro mag

[@supreme5538]

I don’t trust mine either one works flawlessly but the other 2 I ordered they jam a lot

[@TerriblyTactical]

Yeah it's a shame cuz they're cool but yeah not worth it if they don't work right

[@WhoisMizzy]

hey man glad i came across your channel! i heard u say u carry the 5.7 for self defense. i just bought last week and i can’t find a good holster for it or mag pouch that will fit properly or that is specifically made for the fn 5.7. Do you have any suggestions? I prefer to carry from the appendix but carrying on the side isn’t a problem

[@TerriblyTactical]

bit.ly/2WioStY You can find an appendix rig here for the fn!

[@WhoisMizzy]

@@TerriblyTactical thanks man!

[@TerriblyTactical]

@@WhoisMizzy no problem

Wonder if you have to some Filing down some spots I had to do some work on pro mag sks and AK mags and they started to work better after removing some plastic

[@TerriblyTactical]

Not sure honestly

Ever figure it out cuz mine still won’t feed with any type

I have not unfortunately

[@MrSmith-zy2bp]

Just got a FN Five Seven for a good price. Hopefully, now NATO has standardized 5.7x28mm more ammo manufacturers will get on board with the 5.7. Speer getting into defense 5.7 ammo is good news.

[@TerriblyTactical]

Yes it sure is, it's great news!

[@TerriblyTactical]

Thanks for watching!

[@OnlyH0va]

Anyone have the problem with not fitting the whole 20 rounds in? I could only fit 9 rounds and when I started doing research it says the springs on these mags where to short…I stretched them out a bit (they were tight asl) and now it fits 15…but the spring is about 2 rings longer then the original FN spring..In theory if I snipped the rings to the same size as the FN spring, should it fit the whole 20 rounds now?

[@TerriblyTactical]

Haven't had any issues with not being able to fill to capacity so honestly I have no idea

[@briandavis9441]

I have three ten rounders that only fit seven

[@OnlyH0va]

@@briandavis9441 I fixed the problem..I just bought an original FN spring and put it in the shitty pro mag body lol works like a charm and had no jams..if your mags are pro mag I would definitely recommend that.

[@williamvalentine8598]

I'm wondering if you can take the fn mag and add the 10 round promag extension for better reliability but non the less a theory do a vid on it but 👍👍

[@TerriblyTactical]

The problem is most likely with the springs

[@mattandrews8528]

The only pro mag I own is a 9 round extended single stack for my M2.0 Shield in .40s&w, what’s annoying is yeah it doesn’t drop free and it doesn’t just slide in when fully loaded....real annoying. You got to slap it in, but hey I’m hoping that if I’ve emptied my seven round mag needing 9 more then I’ll have my adrenaline going enough where I’ll slap it in no problem. But honestly because the stock 6 round magazine that doesn’t have the pinkie extension slides in and feeds more reliably to the point I I usually take that instead. Total if I reload I got my 7+1 +6 so 14 rounds total should be good enough in a personal defense situation, I agree, don’t trust your life with a pro mag, get an extended mag if you like to have one and that’s the only option for higher capacity, but when in doubt pay the extra money for better mags in your conceal carry.

[@TerriblyTactical]

Amen to that my dude!

[@JAYNYCTV]

Is 15 bro 💚 but yeah I read it it’s crazy tho hope you got it fixed

[@VerifiedValue]

Promag is just garbage always has been. Bought multiple mags and none of them are reliable. I got a promag AK drum for Christmas and it literally can’t even feed one round nothing from that drum will chamber I’ve tried every ammo manufacturer under the sun. Chalk them up to photo shoot mags good looks terrible quality.

[@TerriblyTactical]

I've had good luck with a few of their mags for different guns but other designs seem more prone to failure...really hit or miss and I'd never trust my life to one but they can be fun range toys sometimes

[@martinjaso2553]

Pro mag has never been good... I leave them loaded in the ammo can and when I open it they are half full with rounds all over... then I remember that noise I heard from the closet a few days prior...

[@TerriblyTactical]

Haha yeah they're definitely hit or miss with quality and reliability but I do and have had several of their mags that work flawlessly like their glock 50rd drum, the lcp 10rd mag, and their m1 carbine 30 shot mags.

[@makuce]

That's because they are made for the 1st FN 5.7 made

[@TerriblyTactical]

There's no difference between that and this

[@makuce]

@@TerriblyTactical it's a difference. I have a 55 round drum from PROMAG it works flawlessly for my FN 5.7 MK2. It will also work with the MRD THE LATEST OF THE FN 5.7. Again there's a difference from the first MODEL to THE 3RD MODEL-MRD‼️

[@Bonafied305]

​@@makuceso are u sure the pro mag 55 round drum will work with the mrd version? I don't see much info online and I want to get 1 but I don't want to waste my money
