The PMag crowd will be along shortly. I personally like the NHTG, OKay, and Colt, USGI mags. I've never run a ProMag in an AR but, had some issues in another.
Edit: I'd also steer clear of CTD, it took them 4 weeks to ship an Shotgun that was "In Stock" |

I have about a dozen of the ProMags and have never had an issue. I also have Pmags.

If they're on sale give one a shot. The Pmags and Tapco ones are better IMO.

I wouldn't touch those unless the price were just over half that, and then only for range use.
For a couple dollars more you can get P-Mags and some of the actual USGI mags. Something proven to work the vast majority of the time, not proven to be hit or miss. |

The Pro-Mags have a somewhat "iffy" reputation, so since you can buy top quality Brownell's aluminum mags for about $10.00 and top of the line P-Mags for just a bit more, it just makes sense to buy the top quality mags and pass on the suspect low end mags.

i'm going to say no, but hear me out. i paid $12 a piece for 3 of them back during the panic at a LGS. thought i was getting an awesome deal because you couldnt find mags anywhere and the ones you found were $20+. they cycle fine, but 2 of the 3 wont drop out of the magwell when they're empty. all of my pmags drop right out, load or unloaded. i can nowfind pmags for $10-$12 for gen2 and sometimes 3's and i see the pro mags for $8-$10, i'll spend the extra few bucks and just get a pmag. i will use the 3 pro mags i have at the range, but i sure as shit wouldnt trust my life to them.

I would say no just because Pro Mag has a bad rep and Gen 2 Pmags can be found on sale for $9.99. Not enough savings to be worth the risk. If the mag sucks, you didn't save $3 over a PMag, It cost you $7 for a worthless magazine. Also, Aluminum magazines with Magpul followers can routinely be found for under $10 ea.

Some are good, some suck. Magpul Pmags on the other hand are good to go, not to be confused with Pro Mag. |

I wouldn't buy a pro mag product. I usually use D&H or PMAG's for my AR's.

I had three pro mag 20 rounders and two of them did not work...I got rid of them all.
I have used NHTG and Pmags alot with no problems at all ... both are great mags. |

Don't remember it working that great but those things rarely do.

All of the 30 round polymer ProMags I got during the last panic ($12) have performed flawlessly...

After years of owning nothing but USGI aluminum 30rd magazines I now only own PMags |
