    There's a whole passel of guys here who think they're in the CIA and must never have their cover blown. They dress in Gray and carry Tennis racket cases so we don't know that they are there and ready to pounce like a crouching tiger.

    I admire these men. Brave and dedicated. Secure enough in their sexuality to flit around with a tennis racket case!

    Crap... and here I thought my Thompson in a violin case with me in a tux was tacti-cool... Who's going to suspect a guy playing a violin in a symphony.

    Gonna have to completely re-do my wardrobe and accessories now. I swear I heard lavender blends well with the fruits in my area...

    Where most guys screw up is they don't wear the little tennis shorts... This is because their thigh rigs chafe and that's not good on a long deployment.

    I ordered 20 of them with the Magpul followers from BCM years ago. I've used them in carbine courses, and regular range time. I'm still using them to this day and find them to be highly reliable. The color of the mag is irrelevant. The teflon coating, inside and out helps with reliable feeding and overall durability. They are GTG.

    Is it just a color or some kind of anti-friction finish or just a more durable finish?

    These are not teflon. They're catalyzed paint.

    If it's shiny paint, it ain't goin' in my gun...

    Oops, I didn't realize this was a new paint. I stand corrected.

    Do not mean to hijack this thread over the coating on these mags but PSA has D&H mags for sale as I write this for 16.99 in a black finish.

    yeah. but just one step off this is Foliage green. the gray is fine urban warrior camo and works in any diminished light. but FG is roughly the same value (dark/light) but it already exists and is available in IR non-reflective gear. and a lot of it is discounted as it's not the "in" color...
