    I don't have to wrap my head around that because the bottom line is this- Regardless of how many variations of P mags there are, I get better performance from them than than I do from aluminum mags. That's not nonsense. That's experience. My experience

    Never, repeat, never have had a problem with nhtmg 20 and 30 Rd magazines. 30 Rd gen 2 and 3 magpuls have been fine. Had couple gen 2 20 Rd magpuls that refused to work. Anymore I just stick with okay/nhtmg mags.

    The reason your experience is not relevant is because you don't have experience with g.i. mags. You can't compare Pmags to junk and expect that to be any sort of legitimate comparison.

    My thoughts are pretty simple.

    All mags are disposable. All mags can fail.

    I have had a couple of Brownells mags that refuse to drop from any of my lowers. Supposedly good mags.
    I've had the baseplate retainer on a Colt branded mag break without any serious use and abuse.
    I've had PMAGS that didn't lock the bolt back. Magpul fixed those for free.
    I've seen plenty of mags that have been damaged or worn out.
    To me, USGI mags work fine but tend to be a bit more fragile.
    I don't know if the polymer in the PMAGS will degrade over time.


    So my formula is simple:
    Gen2 PMAGS are my practice/training mags.
    Gen3 PMAGS are my go-to mags.
    USGI are my long term storage mags.

    This thread is going in circles.

    I have experience with both and I have found the pmags much more reliable.

    Excellent thread on the topic of mags. Not a closure or a "use the search" comment, just a thread reference.

    That sounds far too practical for this conversation. One must declare a winner.

    I used to use PMAGS but had one too many mag related problems, including cracked and broken feed lips, etc.

    USGI mags all the way for this guy.

    Do whatever you want, but the PMAG is more marketing hype than anything else.
