    As already stated.

    Clean, new, brass cased round nose ammo? They’re fine for training.

    Anything outside of that and they’re not going to be reliable enough to bet tour life on.

    I never had an issue (G17/19), thousands of rounds. I interchange them with OEM mags for daily carry. I trust them.

    ONE EXCEPTION: They do not particularly care for steel cases. The polymer tube and polymer coating seem to bind. Brass and aluminum cases are no problem.
    I've noticed that as well. My GL9-15s seem to bind up when using steel cased ammo.

    I have used both the PMAG for the Glock 17 and 19 for qualifications with Speer Gold Dot 124+ rounds w/o issue. No issue with duty ammo

    I use the 21 round mags and have had no real issues. If they get really dirty. I would say after at least 2 serious training days they have issues. But since I clean my stuff after a training day no issues.

    I use them in my Glock 34 and my CMMG Banshee.

    I have 16 pmags for glocks. No issues this far. Loading steel can be more difficult than in OEM.

    How much ammo in 2 serious training days? Are you using a suppressor?

    I don’t clean my 21s, but I also have a effpile of mags in my training bin, mostly factory, but a few 21s in there, also. My PCC uses Colt/Uzi mags.

    Disclosure: I am affiliated PRN with a tactical training center, but I speak only for myself. I have no idea what we sell, other than CLP and training. I receive no income from sale of hard goods.

    I am obviously not answering for yoni, but I know mine will begin to jam up after a few cycles (full mag to empty) when I shoot them suppressed.

    Oh wow. My PMag 21s haven’t seen much use with my can and I also don’t usually fill them all the way up. Usually either 15-20 rounds (often random) or however many a drill/exercise calls for.

    What can are you using? I’ve got an Odessa, and it doesn’t seem to filth the gun *too* badly.

    It appears that I have some variables that I haven’t tested for. One of the reasons I recommend and use factory mags for carry or duty.
