They offer some interesting specialty designs and colors. I just bought a couple of their glow-in-the-dark mags to use with my PSA "Ghost Gun" lower. I wouldn't expect them to hold up to extensive use, but I'll be happy if they function reliably.

That one was painted red and thrown in the “range use only pile”, the other one was still in the plastic so I just threw it in the back of the safe. In my limited experience they are okay for range use.

Rounds fucking falling out of the mags all willy nilly. Absolute horse shit. Amend2 mags suck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLbsIt8ZAAk

I ended throwing them all in the garbage. I understand they are significantly better now so who knows?

I mean that says everything.
I wouldn’t buy them if they were more than $5 but the ones i used worked well enough for range use.
If i got one for free i would use it until it breaks. So like 2 weeks maybe?
ETA I give them credit for making large capacity mags as a statement. Could use better execution.
