    Just like everything (cars, electronics, etc) products do evolve and companies come out with better things.

    HK mags were always known to have issues in certain weapons. I have a gen II HK mag and it runs perfectly in a 14.5" or 16" weapon. Put it in a 10.5 and forget about it.

    Having run PMAG's in all kinds of different AR systems, I can tell you that they are not a "fad" and will be around a long time. IMHO, they will eventually own the market and metal mags will be obsolete.

    I wasn't refering to the civilian cost, but there isn't much difference between the cost of the two when buying new mags. The cheapest is see the USGI mags going for new is 10 buck, but thats the price per mag for 100 mags.
    What I meant was that They'd be lower cost to the government. That was one of the goals in the design of the PMag. Fast production, low cost.

    But my main point was that the USGI aluminum mags are obsolete now that there is the PMag.
