Haven't heard much but I just can't get behind any of these new magazines..GI and Magpul have everything covered. Lancers if you're a special snowflake.
DD does make quality gear obviously so I'm sure it shoots well but the HK mags also sucked so who knows. |

Well... it's more expensive and does the same thing other mags do, so... there's that.
The only mags I use are L5AWM, then ETS or Pmag (I'd rate both similar with slight edge going to ETS). To me, their all the same except L5AWM's. AWM's actually have something REAL to justify the price (steel feedlips/cage. The steel cage does two things: strengthen the feed lips, which is great for long term storage, AND provide a STEEL shelf for the mag latch to catch). What does the DD offer to justify the extra cost? An extra 2 rounds??

I got one for my birthday last week. Well made, nicely finished, especially like the texture. I'm not crazy about the 'loop' at the bottom. Too small to grab. so not sure why it's even there. My plan is to cut the loop off to see if it functions OK without it. Preliminary and hasty measurements indicate that I can cut the loop off and still have enough meat left for the mag to function.
It will take 33 rounds. Very, very slightly longer than a P-mag. It seats easily on a closed bolt with 32 rounds, at least in several different rifles. Ran fine during my limited 'testing', locked back when empty. I did not subject it to any torture tests involving vehicles, mud, sand, etc. Cigar smoke caused no disruption in performance..................... 32 is better than 30, but there has to be diminishing return at some point. |

For 2 extra rounds, it is not worth it to me.

There was another thread about these before. I got 10 when they first came out and used them in a Dave Harrington class almost exclusively for one day and then rotated with some of my PMags the next day. No issues. I ran them loaded to a full 32, seated on closed bolts no problem in my DDM4V1 ( one of the original with Omega X rail ) and my MK18 pistol.
I like the textured feel of the DD mags and feel I have better control of them. This was noticeable doing "tac reloads" where I have to do some finger magic to juggle 2 mags and operate the magazine release with my support hand because I shoot lefty. I can justify in my mind the cost difference for that texture and the 2-4 extra rounds (if you load a PMag 30 to 28 or 30). I was able to get a good deal on more and now have 30 of them and have sold off my PMags. All that said what may work for me, might not work for you, your money, your life, your call, etc.. You never know if you'll like something until you try. |

Well I am used to 20 rounders that is what I had for many years in the service, so, 30 is a luxury to me!

We had a few of those floating around the armory at one of my duty stations. |

I'm a fan of DD stuff, but I like Lancer mags and I have no plans to switch.
If they ever go on sale I'll probably buy some though. |

I picked up one to try because well it's DD. Functioned fine loaded to 32 rds in both semi and full auto.
Primary Arms has them for $14.99 right now! |

I'm just looking for some real life feed back. Not interested in what mags you would use instead...just trying to learn more about the DD32's. A lot of you are ignoring this part of OP's post. We don't care what else you use or why you don't use DD mags. We only want to know about DD's mags. |

That is like telling this group, hey if you don't have one of these XYZ gizmo's then don't post, ya that will work out good!

I have one that came with my DDM4V7LW.
When I loaded it with 32 rounds it seems to have feeding issues from to much pressure being put on the first 2 rounds. I had a IMI M855 bullet being pushed into the casing. When I charged the rifle. My guess would be the pressure tilted the round more downward causing the bullet to miss the M4 ramps. Also I dropped the magazine loaded with 32 rounds and a few rounds were dented pretty bad. It was a complete accident. I don't know if that was a magazine or bullet issue. So I started loading 30 rounds and it's been flawless ever since. . |

If you think 20 round mags are the shitz because that's what you are/were accustomed to, fine, everyone has an opinion. But go start your own thread. This is why people don't ask questions. They can't get a straight answer. Sad. |

We received one in each shooter's bag last summer and tried out at the range, worked pretty much as advertised. 32 rds loaded, inserted with closed bolt just fine. We even put one empty mag on the gravel parking lot and rolled the front wheel of a 3/4 ton truck over it, picked up, loaded 32 and shot. Worked fine too so from my perspective, they are GTG.

A couple of the guys who bought them have had issues with the plastic weld (seam) splitting when dropped. Kinda caused me to shy away from them.

I mean, what exactly was he looking for? He posted the DD stuff himself. At some point we get it. People say they are gtg or not. If he really wanted something to look at he'd go to YouTube. You can actually see them in almost any circumstance he wants from handling to shooting to torture test. The threadsbeen over for a while. He got just about the only answer you can without visuals. If the info was stimulating enough the thread would still be on track. That proves a point in and of itself |
