Can someone explain to me the differences (if any?) between a DSG mag, and a D&H mag (sold by Bravo Company) ???
I know I've seen a BLACK finished DSG mag listed at GR Tactical forever now, but they never seem to be in stock. I don't care for grey mags, so I was hoping to find some black ones, to purchase, and compare to the D&H mags I get from BCM.
What are the differences?
Finally, WHO else is making USGI mags these days??? I know of the following:
1. DSG (know nothing about them really, although I hear they are quality though)
2. D&H sold by BCM (quality mags, but not sure I've ever been crazy about their springs, which seem flemsy and a bit cheap. Usually have white crap flaking off of them. If they came with an ISMI spring, they would be the TOP USGI mag I've ever seen. I still like them though, and will continue to buy, unless I can find a better made mag) One other thing to note is that they BCM says they are made on the original "Labelle Tooling", and I cannot remember exactly WHAT this means? I read it once, but have forgotten. Not sure if any other manuf's mags are made, or have been made in the past on this "Labelle tooling"???
3. CProducts (have quite the shaky existence. Mixed feelings from many users. You either love em or you hate em. I hate em)
4. Hk High Reliability Steel mags (overpriced, but have always worked well for me. I won't pay the price for more though. Only own a couple)
5. Brownells mags. I also cannot remember if Brownells makes these in-house, or if they are sub'd out to some other manufacturer??? I really wish Brownells offered these in BLACK and not light grey/FDE. I have never owned any of these, and do not know how their springs compare to the DSG and D&H mags. ???
6. NMTG? (not sure if this is correct terminology, but I know nothing about these. I was THINKING they were the same mag as one of the others listed above, but not sure????)
7. Colt mags. (Nothing special IMO, grey colored only. Not for me, but probably great mags if a Magpul follower is used.)
Are there any other USGI mags I'm forgetting here guys?
For that matter, anyone care to comment on the mags up above? I would like to get answers to the few questions I have above, especially regarding the comparison between DSG, D&H, NMTG and the Brownells mags.
PS.
If anyone knows of a "Master USGI" comparison thread, that I might have missed over the years, by all means, let me know. I figured there MIGHT be one, that I have possibly somehow missed? Would appreciate it, if anyone knows of one in existence on this forum??
As always, thanks guys.
