I apologize if this has been listed already but this apparently was a test of various mags by law enforcement/tac teams.

Clearly, pmag is the winner.....but it is nice to see several side by side....

I just ordered a Hera H3 mag to try out.

The comments of "flimsy" and "noisy" on the D&H mags were my first impressions as well. I've not shot out of mine yet, but when I picked the box of 20 up off the porch, I could plainly hear the springs bouncing around inside. When I took them out of the box, they did feel cheap (at $6.99ea, they are), and kinda flimsy.

What was the sample size?

Fortier thought the Lancer was "flimsy"  on first impression but it turned out to be the only magazine he couldn't break.

This test didn't involve running any magazines over with a large vehicle therefore it is INVALID

I'll agree that D&H mags are noisy when empty, but disagree about them feeling flimsy. I honestly thought they seemed as sturdy or even sturdier when compared to the other aluminum mags I've had(Brownells, CMMG, C Products). Funny how opinions can differ so much about the same thing.

Yeah no issue at all with D&H mags.  If you hit the side of an empty PMAG and D&H GI they are both going to rattle.
