I’ve been using Magpul AR mags for a iittle over a decade now, and I’ve never had a single magazine-related malfunction. I have had a couple of feed malfunctions with milspec metallic mags. I only have one Magpul Glock magazine - a G17 mag that came with my Keltec Sub-2000. I haven’t personally had a malfunction with it, but I have read complaints online about the Magpul Glock mags - the issue apparently being the strength of the feed lips.ORIGINAL TEX wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:44 am Going back to all factory Glock magazines. I have now had two Magpull magazines repeatedly fail on me by not holding onto the top round well enough - resulting in a stove pipe of a fresh round. Neither of these magazines are all that old or have had that many rounds through them. I have about five of them, and apparently the polymer lips wore or have spread over time. I guess they will be OK for the range but IMHO not for matches or self defense. Anyone else have an issue like this?
I also have Magpull AR mags, but I don't shoot my AR that much. Also have metal GI AR mags and it is much harder to press up on the tip of the top round and get it to dislodge in the metal mags. Any one had any issues with the Magpull AR mags?
But you can absolutely rely on the AR mags. In fact, if I’m not mistaken, the Magpul magazines are the only ones currently authorized for use by the USMC in M16/M4 rifles.
