Looks like it would fit in a pouch just the same. Possible want.

About how much longer is it OP? It looks like an inch or so.

They have 40 rounders!?!?!?

Can you put the bodies with the 30 on top of the 40 to show true perspective and can we see the spring and follower differences?

The way they sit creates an illusion that its only a tad bit longer.

Will you take a pic with them swapped in place and other pics too? Maybe a front view with the feed lips aligned.

The 40 is a lot longer than that picture would suggest. Put two 30s next to each other like in the picture and the mag on the right will look longer. In the OP's picture the 40 on the left looks longer. It's not huge, but it's significantly longer than a 30.

The 40 rounder is 2 1/8" longer then the PMAG M3 30 rounder.

These should be better:






Stacked:









From the back:









From the front (no floorplates):









Springs and followers (both on same plane based on the sheet of paper):

Looks like it might be slightly awkward to get out of some pouches depending on placement but it doesn't look that big for a 10 round addition to capacity.

Not sure that anyone has them yet. I ordered mine through the Boulder Airlift program, and I live 1/4 mile away from the factory, so I got it quick.

Only pouch I would put a 40 rounder in is a dump pouch after expending all round from it. I see extended round magazines as excellent for movement to contact or assaulting through an ambush when superior firepower is necessary to overwhelm the enemy. But their unique size makes the sort of a pain in the ass to carry around as a reload.

Left mag would be about half the distance from bottom of left mag to the bottom of picture if they were both the same distance on top.

I've found that the difference between my old metal GI-style 40-rounders and D&H 30-rounders hasn't been a problem for me.  If anything the 40-rounders were a pain due to feed issues until I swapped the Magpul followers from some D&H mags into the 40 rounders.  I'm sure that with 40-round PMags that issue will not exist to start with.

Last I heard the mags were only in black still, but furniture was flowing in all colors again.

I ordered 10 black and 10 FDE from DSG on the same day in December.  I got the black 3 months ago, no word on the FDE.

That's what I do; the One Big Mag goes in the weapon to start with, and the smaller mags are in the loadout. Hopefully the One Big Mag is enough to get you through.

There maybe no offical policy but they sure don't seem to be making other colors.
