    In terms of just basic function (feeding rounds into the chamber at the appropriate moment) they have worked well for me so far, with the exception of a couple of times where the bottom 3-4 rounds in the mag have gotten crossed and failed to feed. This happened twice on Friday to me and at least once to one of the other guys in class, but we both think it may be related to the Betamag loaders we're both using.

    Which Beta Mag loader are you using? We use both the individual and the stripper loader. I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around this one.

    GI Mags Obsolete?

    Nope. Not to me anyway. I just ordered 10 more 30 rounders (green follower) from 44Mag.

    Guess I'm just a hard headed 'ol Marine. I have no problem with the GI's I own now, or in the past, so see no (good) reason to switch.

    Maybe if I start running over then with my truck...

    The only problem I have with the P-mags are that I cant put two mags in the double mag pouches on my LBV..(load bearing vest).
    They are too wide to fit two in the pouch,and I have tried every different position I could think of to get two in there....

    I looked in my Puter, and it's gone! I can get another one though. That pic actually was low res, and crappy lighting.

    I should build and M-plate, ship it to STICKMAN, and get the pic done right!

    Maybe I am just getting cynical...

    But there always seems to be some new doo-dad that is 1000 times awesomer than the last. For a few years it was the HK mag. Now it is junk. I have a sneaking suspicion the fad cycle will continue for eternity.
    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.

    Probably not yet. For me, I love the PMAGs, but found at least one that won't drop free from my LMT lower....

    Fad to me.
    I don't like the two P-Mags I have.
    Like a Glock magazine with a plus two extender, they rattle when fully loaded.

    They work fine but so do my fifty or so aluminum magazines and my aluminum magazines don't rattle when fully loaded.
