PROMAG doesn't have a good reputation. Maybe for the range if you want to practice malfunction drills. Otherwise, I'd stick with SIG factory magazines for carry.

But if money is an issue...

I'm not one to quickly trash a product or a reputation, but...

Several years ago I was having problems with my pistol at an OpSpec Training class. Bruce Gray took a look at one particular magazine in my pile, asked, "May I?" and spun around at a 180, tossing that mag in the trash. With a great big grin he said, "Friends don't let friends run Pro Mag." Wink




God bless America.

I've ran with theory my whole life:

If one of my carry weapons malfunctions, I loose faith in it. I run quality ammo, quality mags and keep my weapons clean and in good shape. If I have a weapon malfunction, using the above, I take it out of the carry rotation. Figure out what the issue is, and run no less than 500 rounds through it with 100 being my carry ammo. If it fails once during this, it's gone.

That may be overkill, but it's worked for me all my life. I have 5 carry weapons, some with a 5000 round mark with zero malfunctions.

My theory is, why buy or run a shit mag and risk your carry weapon malfunctioning?

Friends don't let friends buy ProMag anything, except for the 10/22 Archangel stocks-they are solid.

Seriously, ProMag has the worst reputation of almost any product in the gun world. I adhere to the old adage, "It is better to buy once and cry once". If you buy a ProMag magazine it will not run right, you will try to sell it, (if you even can and it will be for a great loss)and you will probably be stuck with it. I know because I bought one once, before I knew any better.

Truer words have never been spoken. Pro mag is hit or miss. Pun intended.

When I was younger and didn’t know better (pre-internet) I bought some of their AR mags. Ended up throwing 3 or 4 of them in the trash after trying to tweak them to get them to run right.

Come on, Promag has a great reputation and their mags function very well - as long as you're using them as a doorstop.

Well, that settles it, no promag for me, I'll buy 1 only instead of 2.
Thanks everyone for their input.

If one comes upon a ProMag, it is your duty as an American, to promptly toss it into the recycle bin.
And hopefully the Recycle Police don't catch you.

This is pretty extreme. Every shooting class I have ever attended runs malfunction drills. One malfunction in 500 rounds is a .2% malfunction rate.

ProMag provides a very real and valuable product. They offer a WIDE variety of malfunction training devices that will ingrain the skills necessary to clear any kind of malfunction imaginable. They do all this at very affordable prices. Wink

Malfunction drills are not the same as knowingly putting a shit mag in your weapon and having a malfunction occur

When it comes to aftermarket magazines I look for the three magic words; Made in Italy.

Oh, okay, I may have mixed them up with Promag.
