No, however ProMag has one of the worst reputations in the industry when it comes to magazines. Let someone else try them out before you purchase. They may be fantastic, but that would be a first for that company.

When mags were hard to come by I purchased some pro mags. Had trouble with them staying seated and falling out. I would never rely on them........ever.

i picked one up based on reputation... for training for malfunctions. it isnt the worst mag ive ever used as it has never given me any thing other than an occasional double feed but hey thats why i bought it. it certainly isnt going with me if the shit goes down though.

I have two or three from a warranty claim.  They were put in a California attic and after the summer, they would no longer cycle.  I don't know how the replacements run.  

I told the guy to buy P-mags.  I bet people get fucked all the time by the confusion.  

Surprisingly, ProMag is a Phoenix AZ company......

I found a G17 ProMag out in the desert near one of my many favorite shooting spots. It was filled with sand and rocks, and when I took it home, spring and steel feed lips covered in rust. I gave it an overnight Coke bath, removed the rust, cleaned it up, wiped down the steel parts with my CLP soaked silicone wipes, and reassembled it. It surprisingly worked well at first but recently started to give me random FTEs in my Glock 19. Its okay as I already knew Promag is American made junk so I use it as a training mag. I was waiting to see how long before it started to cause failures.

How the fuck do people confuse PROMAG with Magpul PMAG? Its not hard to see the differences between the two.

ProMag moved from CA to AZ a few years ago, good for them at least.
