I ordered M3's from Brownells Saturday. Have not checked there tonight. I bought a Sig 716 a couple of weeks ago and have been rounding up P-Mags for it. They are harder to find by the day.

I snatched 10 from DSG arms on Saturday.
We've been playing with these for a few weeks.... and they're really no end user appreciable difference that I can find.
The base plate is hardly any thinner.... but I didn't mind the previous base plate width anyway.
The ass ache with these generation variations is that the parts are no longer compatible. We just had to toss out most of the covers since there not the same across the board. I generally don't use them anyway, but some high dust exposure mags benefit from the covers.

The main issue I had with PMag's was feeding lips breaking in cold conditions. Has anyone else expirienced this using PMag's? Specifically the Gen 3 Pmag's? I hope the new gen fixed that issue!

I think there was one guy, Alaskapopo, who had that happen.

Well, we tested, and continue to test for lot acceptance, the GEN M3 at -60. It survives the 5' loaded feedlip drop much better than a USGI at -60 in our testing, including live fire. You can see the videos of some tests on our YouTube channel, including the -60 function and drop. Significant improvement in extreme cold weather function was one of the goals of the M3 program that we feel we successfully achieved.

I am going to take a look at those videos and thank you for the response. I am going to pick up a few of the new Gen 3's and will run them hard in the cold and see how they do. I did not know if my problem was an isolated one, or there were other issues with the feeding lips. All honor to you.

Ah, if only I could find some in stock somewhere....gen 2 or 3...bad timing on my part, as I'm not part of the panicked herd but spent too long hemming and hawing about whether I wanted to spend the money right now.
Anyone have any leads?
