HK vs Lancer clear mags?

[JG007]

any pros/cons? Both seem to be considered fully good to go

[pointblank4445]

I'd say neither.

The HK's are full polymer and while they're kinda neat, the texture/ribs on the mag body did not play well with some of my mag pouches. They're a novelty.

Hk, if you go clear.

I have Lancer mags and have proven to be very reliable. I have no experience with the HK poly mags.

Are these the $20ish HK mags you are talking about? Was thinking of grabbing a few if I can find them.

I have both. HKs have issues seating (locking into place) in some guns, Lancers do not have that problem (in the same guns).

I have a lot of rounds through Lancer translucent smoke mags. I can't remember ever having a problem with them.

I have run both. They both work fine in all of my guns, lock-back, seating, feeding, etc. the HK mags are thicker at the bottom, noticeably, and may not fit many mag pouches.

If you want a clear mag, ETS is the only choice. (Are they still around? I know Magpul was trying to crush them at one point)

Any reason why ETS is "The One?" I live in the city they are from and where they are supposedly made and they are vaporware here.

I've been abusing several Lancer AWMs for years now. Between those and gen 3 PMAGs, they're all I use.
