    the first time I charged the charging handle with a loaded pmag. I thought that it was a malfunction. I didn't feel the round go in the chamber. I partially pulled the chaRGing handle and there was the itsy bitsy round. no more ka-chunk sound.

    yep silky smooth...

    so why is that? is it because the ammo is pointed higher?

    or is it how the pmag releases the round?

    I think the round just slides out of the magazine easier with less friction between the round and the feed lips. Try stripping a round of of a metal mag by hand and then do a P-Mag - P-Mags are so much easier to unload by hand than a metal magazine.

    Yep. You can do things with polymer that can't be done by stamping metal.

    Here's a thread started by one of our brightest members with some pics on how the rounds approach the feedramps.

    Terming something 'dumped' does not go really far to ensuring I think you know what your doing, or have any method for determining what a good mag is.

    OP didn't ask for good, he asked for quality. This is what "quality" meant to the OP;

    By quality I just mean mags that work effectively, that fit well and use good components, and are reliable in the sense of feeding rounds without problems, and lasting a long time before needing replacement.

    Only one mag has a proven history of meeting ALL those requirements. Hence why I (and rob_s and others), said contract mags such as the D&H from BCM.
