I back ordered some of the Gen3 mags from DSG right around Christmas. Showed up in about two weeks.

I liked the original PMAG. I liked the Gen2 even better. I REALLY like the Gen3 mags.

Unless you are an 18 year old new shooter, it didn't take a crystal ball to see that one should have had some magazines on hand.

What happens with these magazines at the distributor and retail level can be frustrating, especially with so many people taking advantage of the current situation.

When this is all over, I will remember those companies who took advantage of the civilian and LE market. I will also remember those companies who's integrity showed through these tough times.

Brownells and DSGarms have so far been there for their LE and civilian customers.

MagPul is to be commended for their efforts to try to supply the demand. They could have raised their prices to take advantage of current events. They didn't.

The only thing I would say to those who work at MagPul is Thanks...

In some cases, the existing orders are substantial, so additional orders are kind of superfluous until we work through the current position. There is no blanket policy.

Our relationships with dealers and distribution is on an individual basis, and we work to make sure we meet the needs of all of our customers as best we can given the current situation.

Understood. Thanks for the reply and for working as hard as I'm sure y'all are to get production caught up to the madness...

With all the folks that say they haven't had any shipments of PMAGs, I'd love to know where the ones leaving our docks are magically going that have their adresses on them, because we've shipped, um, "several" lately.

That being said, the backorder positions at various places are fairly extensive.

I appreciate you taking the time and sharing with us as I cannot even begin to imagine how busy you guys have been since the attack on our 2nd Amendment began.

I have been pondering on the PMAG situation and have to wonder if they are being hoarded by some distributors and or retailers with the hopes that a ban will go through and they'll be sitting on hundreds if not thousands of "pre-ban" mags that they can sell at an exorbitant rate later down the road.

I ordered Gen M3 PMAGS 5 from GT Distributors (the limit at the time) and 5 from West Fork Armory on December 26. Still haven't heard anything from either retailer.

I would like to hear more order dates / receiving dates from people. Maybe it will help boost my morale if I actually hear from people who have received their orders.

ordered 5 gen m3 and 5 gen m2 pmags from Larue on 12/19/12

Still back ordered with no sign of mags in sight.

Certainly possible, but I think it's more likely that they are being ordered by individuals who suddenly decided they should have a lifetime supply.

I did my "panic buy" of PMAGs and Glock magazines after the attack on Gabrielle Giffords, as I thought that would spark a ban. Guess I jumped the gun (no pun intended), but it worked out for me.

I received a dozen Gen III from my Magpul vendor of choice last week.

I got an email from botach that they were only going to honor 3 Pmags per person for each order. I ordered ten December 15th, and just got the email today.

I did mine after 13 September 2004. I wasn't going to wait for the next one.
