I've been looking for a 5 round magazine (5.56 or 300blk.). Seems like all of them are out of stock with the exception of the promag. I've heard alot of war stories about reliability. In a hunting situation,  I don't think that is a huge problem,  but i wanted to see if anyone had any experience with these. Any pros or cons?

Gunmag warehouse has Lancer 5 round plus ASC and CPD mags in stock.   I’d pass on the ProMag.

Both CDNN and AIM Surplus have the Duramag/CPD 5 round mags in stock right now.

I got one last time I ordered from AIM for essentially free - it bumped me up over the free shipping limit by a few pennies.

Only put about 40 rounds through it but no issues.

I made a 5 round hunting mag out of a 10 round Magpul pmag and a Magpul 5 round minus limiter. Super reliable.  I would never trust promag anything.

Or just load 5 rounds into a 10 round mag, most of the weight is in the ammo not the case..

The weight isn't the issue. It's not legal in my state.  In a semiautomatic rifle, It can only hold 5 rounds total.  In a pump action or bolt,  the sky is the limit... (the way I read it).
