They switched to curved 20s awhile back and they’re GTG, but a bit taller and less surface area if you’re using it as a rest (I know you’re not supposed to do that). I just don’t see the appeal vs metal or Lancer translucent. Nothing to worry about |

Just an observation, but the 20-round Okays have old-school followers while the D&H has Magpul followers (at least the ones CBCM sells). ETA: I guess that goes back to the D&H being curved and the Okay being straight. |

I hadn't heard anything negative about their 20 round curved mags. Primary Arms had a sale on them a while back and I picked up a few for the stash. I have 10 round D&H mags for prone shooting. |

Doesn't ride up into the body armor like a 30 would. Plus I've never had any issues with it. |
