I just got a S&W lower and it seems a bit tighter than my Colts and my Friends BM, but they still drop free

I'm going to wait for E-mag prices to come down a little bit, then purchase a couple. The Pmags I have now sometimes occasionally stick in my LWRC, so I've had to train myself to 'rip' the mags regardless whether they drop free or not.
E-mags are slimmer, so dropping free will hopefully no longer be a problem. In addition, E-mags should retain (correct me if i'm wrong Magpul guys) broader STANAG-like compatability so if I ever buy a SCAR, I'll be able to utilize the SCAR with drop free mags. (And hopefully the e-mags fit better with the MSAR E-4 or FS2000).
You can also check gunbroker, as often they have large lots of new and old Pmags for very reasonable prices. I believe I saw 15 for $139 shipped a few days ago.
Aim Surplus has a good price on them. One cent shipping on all Magpul products. These are also the new Pmags.
Where do I look on the mag to find out what revision they are. I looked and all I see is a clock with a bunch of numbers on it and possibly an arrow. Awesome, I ordered 10 of these a few months back from magsllc.com and never gave it a thought. :confused:
The easiest thing to immediately recognize is the older versions have 5 ribs and the newest version has 4 ribs on the sides. All work great for me. David

For the price difference, I'm glad I ordered 30 more of the old style from DSG. My new UDE mags from Larue Tactical are the new style though.
When you have a product that is as good as a Pmag to begin with, improvements come in small increments.
FWIW, my S&W M&P-15 is in the SW60XXX serial # range and it hasn't found a mag it doesn't like.
We have the M revision and free shipping if you spend over $100.

From time to time, a stray post suggests that there is a material difference in the latest incarnation of the Pmag, in addition to the form. Any truth?
