Educate me please. P-mag 101

[Waywardson174]

Pmags have also been scientifically proven to make your gun shoot straighter and in the event someone sneaks up on you, kill the turd before he sinks a knife into your gullet.

Honestly, I didn't know what a Pmag was until a buddy, an infantry lieutenant, told me it is the only mag he and his guys carry in country. My life rarely depends on my magazine, but his recommendation is all i needed.

Some great videos on the web showing guys just kicking the . . . poop out of different mags to give you an idea of the durability.

+1 for video, i'm glad they did the functionality test at the end.

Also told that pmags can be checked to fly commercially when fully loaded with cover on -as they are viewed as sufficient storage devices with lid on.

I keep my pmags loaded with 28 rounds and I dont use the dust covers. Ive never had any issues with feed lip warp. 1 mag has been loaded for 2 years and still functions just fine. Never had any issues from dropping mags in all versions of the pmag. As far as the models and revisions go:

*original pmag 30: has high ribs, comes in windowed and non windowed versions
*Rev M pmag 30: lower ribs (supposedly drops better from shitty lowers) Dust cover clips on the bottom of the mag. I think they have an improved follower. comes in windowed and non windowed versions
*Emag 30: These work in AR15/M16 variants as well as all STANAG type rifles. Dust cover clips on the bottom of the mag as well and Ive only seen them in windowed versions.

I would like to add that only emag and rev m are good to go w/ SCAR 16s. You can always enlarge the feed on the non rev m to be safely used w/ SCAR.

My buddy had an AR built on a Superior Arms lower. Great lower, but the mag well was a little tight. Revision M Pmags worked in it just fine, but first gen Pmags wouldn't even go far enough into the mag well to seat.

This is entirely dependent on which airline you are flying. TSA will allow it. Some airlines will not.

The only issue I have ever had is with a set of first gen P-mags. A tiny little crack developed just below the feed lips. Every now and then it leads to a malfunction. Fine for the range, but not what I would want if my life depended on it. Other than that, I am a huge fan. If for no other reason than you can load a full mag (30 rounds) on a closed bolt.
