From all accounts, the new M3 P-Mag is the best yet. For any of you that own early production P-Mags (M1?), how have they been holding up?

The only issue I have had with the 40ish that I have is one cracked feed lip. This happened on a deployment about a year after I started using it, and had been through quite a bit when it cracked. The rest have all been great.

I have and still use probably 20 or so that are stamped '08. I don't know what generation they are, but I know they've held up to years of use. The only problem was them not dropping free in my newer 6920. That's been my only issue, but that was easily fixed with a file on a Leatherman.
I can't say I've noticed any major differences in quality in the mags I've purchased over the years since.

I had about 6 of the beta versions of the PMags and used em up till last year. Never had an issue with them other than loosing those lip clips on top...

I've got a handful that I bought right after PMAGs were publicly available. They're still going strong but they haven't seen a lot of abuse either...
The only issue that I've had with the first generation Pmag is when using a speed loader a bullet tip would sometimes cross over the divider and cause a malfunction. I've not been able to replicate this with the newer version as the divider doesn't come up as far. I stopped using a speed loader and I've had no issues of any kind out of the nine M1 magazines I've been using since 2008.
I have about 10 of them, some black and some foliage green all with the window. and a bunch of 20 round ones. All of them are going strong. One of the mags (when empty) will cause my Noveske to release the bolt catch though when I hit the magazine release but that's it.
