Been awhile since I've bought mags, over a year, and I want to make sure I have current info before I buy.
Aluminum is the standard, steel is more stronger but heavier. Whats up with the C-Products 400 series mags? Weight is only 2oz more. Are they gtg and is anyone else making something like that.
Most replies here are positive
Green followers are what you want at the very least but whatever Magpul is currently doing is better. Gen 3 is the most current. Whats up with the colors? Are the Gen-3 followers orange, grey, both, or what? Or should I skip looking at the color and just read the description. Are "Magpul Enhanced Followers" gen 2 or gen 3?
I believe they're currently grey or foliage. Gen 3 have been out for quite a while and reputable retailers (DSG, Bravo, Brownells, 44mag, etc) will have the new ones.
Chrome silicon springs look to be better than mil-spec stainless steel and, as near as I can tell, are the same price.
So what else do I need to know? What makers are currently good and what ones are bad? Not comparing the PMAGS right now as they are what they are and you either but them or you don't. But I can't tell what type of spring they use so if anyone has that info, that would be cool.
Pmags have stainless springs.
