Priced dropped on D&H, buy them or pay more for nhmtg?

NHMTG are certainly considered better than D&H. If you're buying D&H mags just for everyday use: go for it.

I've been using about a dozen D&H mags since 2010 and I've only had one malfunction with one magazine in all that time.

My main beef about D&H mags is that the finish is some kind of shiny black coating that is obviously not military standard.

Ok, thanks guys, will get the nhmtg.

I have been buying D&H, pmag and NHMTG. I do not see a reason to buy 2 different types of aluminum magazines.

The price drop on the D&H makes them very tempting.

Yep.. I'm 99% sure that's what's on the BCM mags. I've been inside and out of them and they're pretty good.

I can't argue with an NHMTG recommendation at all though.

I have a few of the D&H mags. No troubles so far. NHTMG mags are almost double the price, but they are really high quality. I'd use either.

Get both and some Pmags. One can never have too many mags, and a variety of quality mags isn't a bad idea since you will sometimes run across a rifle that is picky with certain mags. Bought 20+ of the D&H mags when they popped up on sale for $7 a piece a few weeks back. Am about to drag a few to the range for t&e with various ammo and rifles. For $7 I couldn't say no, even if it is only for trade fodder down the road, but initial inspection would appear promising. Can vouch for the issues with some C-product mags though, just went through that earlier this year.

Over the past decade I picked up various magazines at gun shows. Turned out a lot of them are c products and are junk. I ended up putting all of my c products magazines into a box, wrote "retired" on the box and put it on a top shelf in a closet.

Now that prices are back down I want to increase my buying rate. I was buying ammo one month, then some magazines, then ammo, then magazines, then ammo,,,, kinda rotating it out.

Those D&H hitting $7 - $8 are too good to pass up.

I know nhmtg are supposed to better, but I know I will kick myself during the next panic buying spree if I do not get some D&H.

Do you remember the time frame when they put out the dog shit?

just bought 20 of the D&H at $7, along with 10 gen3 pmags. couldn't pass it up.
