What magazines do you guys use and.what is your experience with reliability and durability?
Are PMAGS with steel feed lips available for the AR platform?Pretty much all Pmags for all purposes, gen 2 or 3 and I prefer the window version also. Also use Pmags w/steel lips for my Ak47 variant.
I do not know but have not seen any only the AK mags I have, have steel lips.Are PMAGS with steel feed lips available for the AR platform?
Steel lips would be a nice addition to Pmags. I have a few Lancers with steel lips.I do not know but have not seen any only the AK mags I have, have steel lips.
Agreed. I'm going to order some gen 3's. I thought I would see what you guys say first. I was trying to decide between Pmags and Lancer. The consensus seems to be that Pmags are best.PMags, Lancers & D&H are what I've been using.
No complaints.
Hard not to load up on PMAGS at current prices....a dozen 30rd mags delivered to your doorstep for $150-ish.
As I enjoy shooting AR-15's, I've bought many brands of magazines to try in my rifle(s)
Almost every brand i've tried seem to work pretty well. Rarely have had I had any issues with magazines.
Despite this success, I have noticed I like some mags better than others.
My latest find & purchase is the topic of this review.
The Lancer AR magazine is considered a "hybrid" magazine, because they are a polymer mag that has steel lips.
from the Lancer website description :
" Lancer set out to design a better 5.56 magazine; one with the reliability of steel and the durability and weight of polymer.
The L5 Advanced Warfighter Magazine (AWM®) is that magazine. The L5AWM's exclusive hybrid design includes
a hardened steel feed lip assembly molded into a proprietary polymer body with aggressive surface texturing to create
the ultimate rifle magazine tough enough for military, law enforcement, and competition applications."
here's a link to the mags https://gunmagwarehouse.com/lancer-l...-magazine.html
I will say I really like these mags. Load easily, have a smooth, non-tilting, follower that's very easy to load.
They work flawlessly, & seem more durable, than P-mags, having steel lips.Time & use will tell how they hold up.
I'll include a short review from the site where they were purchased..Gun Mag Warehouse. https://gunmagwarehouse.com
I've placed several orders from them. They post order confirmation responses immediately after order is placed.
Withing a day, they send a order status email and tracking information.The 3 orders I made shipped quickly & arrived when tracking said they would.
With the backlogs & delays many retailers have Mag Gun warehouse has provided outstanding service.
They even have some good prices & sales on magazines.
LGS had them on sale for 8.99 finally starting to get back to normal !PMags, Lancers & D&H are what I've been using.
No complaints.

I have found the Wilson Combat mags to be extremely reliable. Very durable.
I use the the 8 round mags but only load 7.

I have not had any issues when I loaded 8, they work fine fully loaded. I was advised by someone who has extensive military and police background to download by one. I will check out the link-profile ones , thanks.AR-15 Magazines
But since you mentioned it....why do you download your 8rd mags ?
Did some type of incident lead to this ?
WC also makes a great lo-profile steel based mag that comes closer to a flush fit than that 8rd ETM-style.
