the first time I charged the charging handle with a loaded pmag. I thought that it was a malfunction. I didn't feel the round go in the chamber. I partially pulled the chaRGing handle and there was the itsy bitsy round.:D no more ka-chunk sound.

SMOOOOTH AINT THEY .
yep silky smooth...
so why is that? is it because the ammo is pointed higher?
or is it how the pmag releases the round?
I think the round just slides out of the magazine easier with less friction between the round and the feed lips. Try stripping a round of of a metal mag by hand and then do a P-Mag - P-Mags are so much easier to unload by hand than a metal magazine.
Yep. You can do things with polymer that can't be done by stamping metal.
Here's a thread started by one of our brightest members with some pics on how the rounds approach the feedramps.

yep did try that. the rounds are easier to unload with the pmag.
6000-8000 or so from an M4 these days.
OP didn't ask for good, he asked for quality. This is what "quality" meant to the OP;
By quality I just mean mags that work effectively, that fit well and use good components, and are reliable in the sense of feeding rounds without problems, and lasting a long time before needing replacement.
Only one mag has a proven history of meeting ALL those requirements. Hence why I (and rob_s and others), said contract mags such as the D&H from BCM.
I sure wish I had those 30 round P mags in 1971 .
