    It’s funny how things go in circles..When I started all we had were alum mags..They could stay loaded..But if you drop them a couple times they would get stuck in mag wells and get issues with dented feed lips,followers getting stuck from dents in mag bodies etc…
    So then we went to pmags..You could drop them all day and they would bounce..Some one said they got split polymer..(I never had crack in over 13 years)So now everyone goes back to alum..That said I buy whatever I find deals on..You can’t go wrong with milspec alum,pmag lancer..

      I think we all just like to have options and variety but, we want the options and variety to be just as reliable with different pros and cons between the options. That way all bases can be covered. That, and consumers get bored and do have a tendency to repeat past trends as new consumers enter the market and old consumers leave it.

Yes, the military can be very spending conscious and cut corners with tons of different milspec "standards", but to spend MORE resources on an inferior product, design or process is practically non existent.
      @Jon M. - Alot of spec op teams seem to have moved to using more and more duramag specific magazines for their multi-platform & task rifles. Actually found this out through an ex operator and his team that was touring across the country giving 2 day training courses for pistol fighting and carbine platforms. I had maybe been to 2 or 3 specific classes and 4 or 5 different training courses and I had learned more in that two day period than I had in over almost 10 years time. If you ever get the opportunity to train with any legitimate training group that employees operators of any kind, jump on that opportunity asap. Those guys are a completely different breed of human.

    I got a great deal on a 20 pack of SOLGW stamped duramags. They took the place of my okay surefeed mags in my plate carrier after listening to an ex operator at a really cool 2 day carbine course I had the pleasure of attending. He was so passionate about his experience with a multitude of different magazines and sang duramags name at a point where he considered no other option. He also stated that for every new magazine you purchase to take them apart and hit both sides of the mags spring with a very quick dry lube pass. Idk if this truly is causing any beneficial return whatsoever but now for every new magazine I purchase it gets hit with a quick aerosol spray of Otis dry lube and then after about 45 minutes I'll pat dry any point of the spring that may look "wet" or a little too shiny.

    • @HatsuneM1ku01
      @HatsuneM1ku01 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No he didn’t. Duramags use metal half as thin as surefeed and d&h, are built crappier ( yiu can just see the bad build quality how the 2 half’s barely line up properly.) the fucking things bow out slightly when loaded, and duramags don’t load in and drop free from mag wells properly because of their shitty build quality. This dude I don’t believe ever ran any courses or he’s know how absolutely garbage duramags are and how cheap and flimsy they are or the fact they don’t hardly take a beating at all. The dude who told you to switch is an idiot. Surefeeds are quite literally the best on the market are are trusted by Leo and military and surefeed were chosen for military contracts based on how durable they were and how well they feed etc. don’t switch to duramags , your literally going backwards.

      I've seen that this is rather hard to replicate and can only reliably be done so on a fully loaded magazine that's already seen its fair share of rounds and is dropped specifically feed lips pointed down towards hard cement from anywhere between 4-8 feet. That exact scenario would be EXTREMELY hard to actually happen in a real world context. If you're dropping any kind of fully loaded magazine at such distances while fighting over a hard surface then you've found yourself in one wild ass, Jon wick high flying, action packed situation! Also, if you take a steel or aluminum mag and do the same test you'll find that yes they don't split or lose retention they will now refuse to seat in any magwell.

Sure they do the job but their are much better metal mags on the market to not even waste time or energy on duramags. Surefeed/okay, d&h, Hk, brownelles. Duramag uses thinner steel/aluminum and they look and feel like they are literally slapped together. This causes issues with rounds not fitting properly if the two mag halves aren’t properly centered and also causes mag drop/insertion issues.

      @@floridaman9026 What the company does and what their employees do are not the same thing. The company has not come out in support of anything, nor are they forcing their employees to change their opinions - I don’t consider that to be an issue

    Its funny when ppl say the aluminum weren't good mags your 100% correct they were spouse to be used 1 or 2 times and tossed from what I was reading ..they were made so they could be reloaded in the field if needed that's it when you got back tossed out ..in that case I'm sure they were great

      That was only the first generation mags used in Vietnam. They learned pretty quick that they’re not going to be a one time use item.

      I won a hex mag at an USPSA match. It was junk, wouldn't drop free. I have it set as a last resort mag.

    I only have one piece of advice to metal mag manufacturers: follow DD's example and do +2 mag capacity so that people can load a full 30 or 20 in your mags with reliable feeding. You might consider ribbing your metal mags so that they hold up like the better polymer mags. It's because of these issues I went PMAG M3/Lancer/DD over SS Duramags.
