One point that is perhaps noting is that since the Tavor is a bullpup, the extra weight of the 60 rd drum is close to my shoulder so I do not notice it. This of course would not be true with an AR or similar platform. I have no experience using the D60 with a conventional rifle and am unable to comment on the weight penalty.

Re: Opinions on Magpul PMAG D-60?
I have had a D-60 for 6 years. I use it with my IWI Tavor. It has proved perfectly reliable. It does take time to fully fill it but the ratchet mechanism makes that fairly easy. On the range you do notice how it takes a lot longer to empty your weapon. I only have the one D-60 all the rest of my mags are D-30s (I have thought about getting some 40s but never got around it). I keep the Tavor loaded with it all the time as my initial home defence mag. If I have to get out of bed at night in shorts and T shirt, then I will have nowhere to put reloads. Therfore I feel that having 60 rounds to go already loaded may give me an edge. Magpul do stress that the clockwork mechanism is well suited to being kept fully loaded for a long time.
