    H&K Mags

    Are these worth the extra money 50.00-65.00 each

    If you are asking if they are 3x-4x better than a Pmag, then NO.
    They are nice mags though.

    IMHO they are not worth the money.
    Heavy and awkward - dent easy etc.
    A very smooth follower though.

    Can he use your money?

    PMAGS, or upgraded USGIs are just fine. Either way, don't marry your mags. If they don't work, ditch 'em.

    Get them.

    I have 7 of them and they are the best magazines money can buy. Yes they are a little expensive at $60 a pop, but they are honestly the best in my opinion. They have a very nice finish which wears easy, but the finish is their maritime finish, the same used on the HK Mk. 23. Follower, as mentioned, is very sick, the slickest I have ever felt. In my opinion they are a step above the Pmag, but they do not hold up to being run over a truck as well as the Pmags do, and they are a little more expensive. The only drawback to them are the weight, since they are steel.

    Search the usual sites. They are not hard to find for $40 each.

    I've got a couple Pmags that I have been beating-up in 3gun matches.
    When people ask about them, I will generally toss one over my back (fully loaded) and then pick it up off the ground and hand it over for them to look at.

    I would not pull that prank with aluminum or steel mags.

    Ditto. The nice thing about fiber reinforced plastic is that you know when it breaks. You can tell when it's cracked. You can't always tell with metal mags that a spot weld has popped off or it a dent is going to stop your follower from going through the whole range of motion. I've put quite a few rounds through my PMAGs and to be honest they work well enough I don't feel the need to spend anymore money on something else.

    I've had four HK mags...sold them all after a couple of range sessions. I was thoroughly unimpressed. I've also seen a lot of them being used at the range and in training classes.

    From my experience and observations, they are reliable when new, but heavier, less durable and 4-5x the cost of PMags. One HK mag certainly isn't worth four USGI/PMags, IMO YMMV, of course.
