Does anyone know the number of rounds one can shoot with a single pmag before it breaks? No abuse like run over by a truck, just normal usage.

Thanks,
Cal

"Our official statement is that the PMag is good for 60,000 rounds. Unofficially we have some PMags at twice that count and they are still going strong."

Should be easy to ascertain.   Just load, chamber, extract and repeat.  (while pointed in a safe direction, of course)

Once you get past 60,000, you can check for signs of wear every 10,000 cycles. Keep a log.

Well, a case is between 300-400 delivered.  Sooo, 60 x $350 = $21,000

I could snap some, but frankly it wouldn't be very exciting.  Looks basically like a new one.

It is a 3rd gen 20 rounder.  I only ever bring one at mag to the range.

Thirty, and then you have to throw them away because they're empty.  I heard that from some legislators.
