There are numerous threads about "sanding" the ribs on P-Mags to help them drop free. This is why every mag should be function checked in the gun(s) you intend to use them in.
I think this is why the military has not selected P-Mags. I really wish P-Mags functioned 100% in my guns but they don't. What's kind of goofy is my gun maker supplies P-Mags with their rifle. Let me add that the only experience I have with P-Mags are with the latest "M" version; I never tried the earlier P-Mags.
I'm sure this will be taken as a bash on P-Mags but it isn't. It is just that they are not 100% in my rifles and to be honest, I wish they were 100% because I really like the idea of a plastic mag. All I'm saying is which ever mag you decide to stock up on...test and check them out thoroughly.
