I will put it like this-
I have used P Mags since they first hit the market. I used them in Iraq and they were great, totally reliable, totally durable. I still have those mags. I took the same mags to a class a couple of years later and the had doublefeeds regularly. You could bounce the mag down onto your leg and rounds would volcano out the top. It wasn't the springs... I bought new P Mags and took them to Afghanistan with me. They worked great, thousands of rounds of all kinds of ammo including M855A1. Fast fwd a year...same issue... I don't think P Mags age well. Then again, mags are not supposed to last forever. Every one of my "old" P Mags fails the slap test (load 15 rounds, slap the bottom of the mag). I have very old USG mags from Colt that pass it...some from other vendors that don't pass it. It seems like a good test to diagnose reliability to a degree. Kyle Lamb used it in his book. YMMV |

polymer, especially if it's under constant stress, (like on the feedlips) will fail eventually. polymer does not have the same strength as metal.
the Russians figured that out ages ago, that's why their "bakelite"/ polymer AK mags have a steel "cage" encompassing the feedlips and lock up, that as well as if the feedlips get damaged, it will just damage the plastic covering over the steel lips. it won't make the mag unusable Pmags for what they are, are good enough for the average shooter. |

Heck, I've got magazines at my desk that have been fully loaded for almost eight years now (no Impact/Dust Cover use either) and have no feedlip creep.

Regarding rounds popping out when you slap the bottom of a partially loaded mag, that is always a possibility with any double stack magazine and is not a good indicator as to its functionality. |

The Magpul dust cover relieves the stress on the feed lips when storing mags loaded. Why not use them and not have to worry about it?

Magazines are a disposable commodity. They were originally designed to be a single-use item. Cheap, aluminum, disposable. Even today, a USGI magazine full of anything but blasting fodder costs less than the 30 rounds in it. Don't get attached to your mags. If you have one that has issue, trash it and move on.

I have a bunch of Pmags I bought, loaded them, and tossed them in a fat .50 can (without the covers! oh noes!), and then tossed that can in the back of my ammo storage rack and completely forgot about the entire thing. That was about 8 years ago. A couple months ago I decided it would be useful to take inventory of all the ammo I have and I discovered that can full of loaded Pmags. It was like finding a $20 bill in a jacket pocket you haven't worn since last winter, but better.
I decided I would take a mag and test for functionality. I took one of the mags out, went out back in my place, did a mag dump, loaded it and did another couple mag dumps, then ran it over with my truck a couple times, then did a few more mag dumps. Worked flawlessly. I'll take another one out and abuse it in another 8 years and let you know how it does.

I have a bunch of Pmags I bought, loaded them, and tossed them in a fat .50 can (without the covers! oh noes!), and then tossed that can in the back of my ammo storage rack and completely forgot about the entire thing. That was about 8 years ago. A couple months ago I decided it would be useful to take inventory of all the ammo I have and I discovered that can full of loaded Pmags. It was like finding a $20 bill in a jacket pocket you haven't worn since last winter, but better. I decided I would take a mag and test for functionality. I took one of the mags out, went out back in my place, did a mag dump, loaded it and did another couple mag dumps, then ran it over with my truck a couple times, then did a few more mag dumps. Worked flawlessly. I'll take another one out and abuse it in another 8 years and let you know how it does. Sweet thanks for the data point. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pretty awesome when the manufacturer steps into a thread to re assure customers about their product, which I see a lot on this site... Also make me feel better about the piles of pmags Ive been buying and loading! |

I have a pile of about 30 Pmags and plan to get another 20 before election. If HRC gets elected, I don't want to shopping for mags on Nov 3rd and beyond. |
