I’m wanting to pick up 5-6 extra mags for my 34, I looked at some reviews which said they were okay … anyone that’s actually tried them how are the they holding up? I see they don’t have the metal liner so I’m a little hesitant. On the other hand, I’ve never had a problem with any Magpul product.
What say y’all?

When I shot a Glock all the time, I had and used more MagPul Glock mags than factory Glock mags. Never any problems. If you need some mags buy the MagPuls.

I like Russian steel ammo. Or at least I used to when it was dirt cheap. I found the cases would stick in the tubes at times inducing malfunctions. Never had any issues using normal brass cased rounds. At the right price I would buy more and worry not a bit.

I have a handful of them I use for training, they have been completely reliable no issues over 2 years of moderate use. The springs are significantly more stiff than the factory mags. If I am going to shoot a hundred rounds it's not that big of a deal. If I shoot a few hundred it becomes pretty noticable the stiffness difference. I don't use them for carry use merely because they don't have windows for the rounds.
I have about 20 of the Magpul mags for my Glock 19. All work as expected, no issues or complaints.

I have a bunch of the 17 rders and up with no issues. They wouldn't fit in my CMMG Banshee though. I'm trying to switch our dept from the 31 to the 45MOS-5 soon and I will just bring all my Magpul 17 round mags to work and toss them in the bin for dedicated range mags.
Originally posted by jljones: I’ve got 40 or so at work that see about 70,000 rounds a year. They are training mags and are abused. They get cleaned once per year.
Zero issues.
^^^^ Any reason you only use them as training mags? Based on what you've experienced, they sound like they should be GTG for duty use.
