I was ready to buy these http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/springfield-armory-10rd-45-acp-magazine-blued-1911-govt-pi4421.html Triping over my self to order them along with some XD sub-compact 13rnders for $10(!) and XD 16rnders $13, but I got to looking because I was wundering what kind of base that was (don't like plastic) so I go to read it more carefully and it says "These mags are made for Springfield Armory by ProMag"   
I passed on the 1911 mags, but ordered the XD mags, hope they are not ProMags. Please Remember Our Mags Are Garbage |

I think that is palmetto misrepresenting- they might have intended to say made to fit rather than made by &for.
I highly highly doubt SA would ever sink so low to include such trash with what is regarded as one of the most solid 1911 brands. I believe either metalform or check mate provide the SA mags |

I passed on the 1911 mags, but ordered the XD mags, hope they are not ProMags. Please Remember Our Mags Are Garbage I have 4 Springfields the newest being a TRP Operator and NONE of them came with Promags. If they had that would have been the first thing to go in the trash. I have over the years tried several Promags because of price for several different guns and all were a complete failure. |

I have had no issues with my promags.. Including the 32 rounders for glocks (~400 rounds through them) Why are they garbage? ProMag has a well documented history of putting out a very flawed product. Even if they have rectified their QA/QC issues, many people wouldn't take their product if it were free. |

Often, during the AWB years, ProMags were about the only reasonably priced mags and many of us used them for range beater mags instead of the $60-70-+++ high capacity mags for SIG Sauer, Beretta, and such.
They mostly worked OK. Mostly. They were about 80% as reliable as a factory mag if you were lucky. |
| The old ones were largely a crapshoot - I've had good luck with many of their newer offerings over the past 3-5 years. Someone must have improved their Quality because it changed big time. Went from junk to "not junk", but not Mec-Gar either. Their HK 93 mags work great! |

My last "NM" serial prefix "Loaded" came with 3 magazines and NONE of them were/are Promags... The SA mags proved more reliable than my 47D's (of which I've had to swap out the tired Wilson springs for Wolff 5% extra power springs; with solid results.) The 47D mag springs went tits up after only 200 rounds. That and simply being loaded to capacity for 5-6 months allowed the springs to compress over an inch short when compared to an unused 47D mags I used for comparison. I don't believe Springfield will ever stoop so low as to contract Profag for magazines... |

I found (2) new Promags, unused, in their original packaging in the trash bin at my club last year... I politely pushed them toward the bottom of the can. And no I'm not just hating. I had horrendous results with Promag "Hi-Power" mags when I was 22 years old, ( too dumb & naive), to know any better than to buy crap like that. |
