| I'm getting ready to order a few mags for my new AR. Is there any down side to the Magpul Pmags with the windows vs the regular ones? I kinda like the idea of being able to see how many rounds are remaining. Will be ordering from either Midway or PSA unless someone has a better idea. |

Transparent magazines cannot show rounds remaining under 10 (they are obscured by the magazine well). Window PMags use a marker on the spring coil that acts as a gas gauge for all rounds remaining. Quoted:

However I really prefer the translucent polymer magazines. If magpul made a translucent I would buy a case. Of course you know this already. Translucent pmags would sell. Perhaps not as well as the plain black but they would sell. I won't hold my breath for those

| I don't see a point of the window. I don't check my mags for the number of rounds remaining. If I want to know if it's low I will remove it and 'eyeball' the weight. I don't do that since I shoot the magazine until it's empty. I will never be in a situation where I need to know how many rounds I have in a magazine and need to change to a full mag because my life depends on it. I also count my shots. Odd habit. |

| Why are you looking at your magazine when you should be shooting/looking at your target? Translucent mags are better than the tiny window. I prefer Lancer(they fare better than pmag in all the youtube torture tests). The new ETS translucent mags look really promising, been running them in my Tavor. |

Translucent mags will only show the rounds visible outside of the magazine well (20-30) The gas gauge on the window PMag can register 0-30 rounds pretty easily at a glance with the mag in the rifle. As for strength, here are some M3 test videos. Watch these and me know how much stronger do you need the magazine to be?
