Love my Gen M3 Pmags. They're pricey, but it's what I keep my SHTF armor piercing rounds in, so it's one less thing to worry about. As for the bulk of my mags, though, I run the Gen M2 MOE, because they're only $9/each at my local gun shop. Made it a point to buy one mag every time I visit as a way to support my local store which has been good to me. Also means I'm sitting on quite a lot of unopened 30 round mags. Would be fairly valuable as a trade item in a post-SHTF society, I'd think. And if anything, I would be set on mags for decades. Super light weight, too.

@WitchyWagonReal4 жыл бұрын
They work reliably... but they haven't been as thoroughly tested as the 556 PMAGs. For example... if you use a GL9 magazine in a Kel-Tec Sub2000, the outer feedlips come in contact with the edge of the steel tubing cutout... and even with relatively light fire, the steel will start melting its way into the GL9 mag (right side). Eventually this causes a weakened feed lip, and the loaded pressure of rounds is pushing against an up to 3/4" long, 1mm wide melted groove. This could be a one-gun fluke... but I tend to think that the design needs more development to be perfect. I do like how the larger 20+ magazines have a flat bottom-- you can count on Magpul to give effort and detail, for sure... and value.
@tonynorris15063 жыл бұрын
Any updates on the GL version? I've heard they did revisions, and they are half the price of OEM, but due to original issues, I've always strayed. Seems I heard the original ones had an issue with the angle of the top round. Also heard it was revised. One thing about Magpul, even when there's not an issue, there constantly revising products. Such as the follower on the new M3s for AR, they used to slip right past some people bolt catches, but they put extra tabs to keep the follower from sliding forward and NOW the rear of Pmags have a semi- hexigon shape, rather than a horizontal rear. Now, the people with that issue have it with the New M2s being they use what M3s formerly used, yet the older M2s don't pose that issue with those who have stacking tolerance issues in their bolt catch area.

I have some 40 round Pmags that I keep loaded with 30 rounds in them all the time. But in a SHTF or WROL situation, they will be fully loaded. The reason why I keep 30 rounds in them all the time is because I think there will be less pressure on the feed lips which will keep the feed lips from spreading. Of course, this is just a personal preference. With crime on the rise, because the jails are letting inmates out due to the pandemic, I want to be ready just in case something bad happens. I have several 40 round Pmags loaded with 30 rounds, and they are ready at a moment’s notice to be used. One of them is already in my rifle and the others are very close to my rifle. Magazines and ammunition are the same in one sense. You can never have too many or too much of either.

The only difference I know of from experience, is they apparently made the gen 3 mags slightly smaller externally, I assume so that they will fit & drop properly from a wider variety of lowers. I have a couple of the gen 2 mags, and they fit fine in two of my ARs (both are PSA lowers), but fit tightly and will not drop on their own from two others (one Eagle Arms, and one older (1980s) Pac West Arms lower). I also have a dozen or more gen 3 mags in 10, 20, and 30 round sizes, and they all fit and drop freely from all my guns. For what it's worth, the gen 2s function perfectly in all the guns otherwise. So if your mags work in your ARs, I see no reason to change. Also, lots of dealers are selling the gen 2 mags at a discount now. Also for what it's worth, I also have a half dozen of the Brownells 30-rnd aluminum mags, and those fit and function perfectly in all my ARs too.

My only beef with PMAG's is when you leave them fully loaded for extended periods. The feed lips bow out and it becomes much harder to seat the magazine and prevents it from dropping free when empty.

So can you put a myth to rest once and for all have you/could you load a standard capacity magazine to full capacity and leave it stored that way for a considerable length of time say anywhere from a year to a decade or more. Without the spring deteriorating in strength?
@johnutpatel49823 жыл бұрын
I can't believe that no one answered your question after 2 years. You might already know that answer by now but if not, it doesn't hurt the magazine to leave them loaded and it won't harm the spring. The weakening of the spring takes place from constantly loading the magazine flexing the spring.

@EarthAltar4 жыл бұрын
Sounds like your mag release may be wound too tight on it's spring. There's kind of a Goldilocks zone between too tight (won't release) and too loose (won't retain). Remove the mag, and push the mag release button far enough in until the mag catch body is away from the lower receiver far enough to get a counterclockwise turn on it. Replace the magazine and test. Repeat as necessary.

I must call attention to the problem that the lip which makes contact with the magazine well has a tendency to snag on the inside of my magazine pouches, moreso than my Gen M2 mags. This makes it more difficult to change magazines. I am probably not the only one with said problem.

Magpul G3 Pmags are the only magazines that I will buy new off the rack and load up and then expect them to run, without testing the individual mag first. Any other magazine... Lancer, okay, whatever... I test with 3-4 loadings in a couple rifles before putting the individual magazine in a rotation where they expected to function under "do or die" conditions.

Is it ok to leave these magazines fully loaded for extended periods of time? I haven't had this happen to me.but I've been told that its not a good idea to keep plastic magazines fully loaded. As it can deform the feed lips. Because of that,I don't keep my plastic ones loaded to full capacity. I usually keep a few loaded to about 85% capacity. This did sound like it was possible that they could eventually deform over time. Idk how likely that would happen...but?? Anyone else ever heard that? What's your take on it? Thanks.

Sure they run fine! I ask you how many shooters drop their rifle that much and complain their magazine broke? It would be much more appreciating to hear how their design was improved for the mag release detent. All my P mags have to be driven in with a sledge hammer to get them to properly seat. Even so after first round they fall out due to the "notch" not being properly located in the magazine. P mags are notorious for this and this is by far and wide why professional shooters prefer steel mags. Very frustrating after all these years the engineers still don't get it. Not any more reassuring that when I toss my $3k rifle around the $13 magazine returns to it's original shape.
