First poly mag I used / tried was the Canadian issued mag. Traded a few with the troops from Cold Lake deployed to 1st Gulf war. It would “fuzz” up for a better word in the abrasive sand of the middle east. Increased the size of the dang thing in a mag well. Only GI metal mag I trusted or carried was made in Parsons Kansas. I kept cases of those in my gear lockers and always took spares along if possible. My 1911A1 Mags were and still are wilson rogers 8 round stainless.
The PMAG’s are all I have in my gear now as a civilian and a reserve sheriff deputy.
MagPul didn’t donate to the socialist rats is my opinion why their excellent product is being banned by the bean countin REMF’s.
I smell Surefire at play here as well. not sure as to the reliability of the new 60 & 100 round magazines they sell so won’t bad mouth em yet the more new and improved that shows up in a grunts gear the less happy his NCO’s are .....
Testing , trial and error are for the range and shoot house. Not combat.
Typical “Big Army” stupidity.
Up there with painting big red “Crusader Crosses” on unarmed casevac helos in A-stan, just to keep the Army bureaucrats in the medical branch content with their own helicopter empire.
I look for the USMC to say, “Sorry, we’re not going to crush our PMAGs.” And the Rangers too, probably.
Doesn’t seem to be any reason given for the ban. I’ve never used a PMAG, but I’ve always heard great things about them. If this isn’t about political contributions or some other such backroom deals, I’ll be shocked.
