Killer Instincts"Best" AR/5.56 magazines....
PMAGS, yo. I put a batch of M2s through absolute hell on deployment and they never let me down. They absolutely just work.

David WI use D&H mags mostly because of the SCAR issues plus when they/were on sale for $6.99 hard to pass them up.

MikeinNCI have about 20 USGI mags...when or if I break them I will replace them with Pmags.
The poly ones don't break when your buddy backs over them while you are at the range.

When I needed to buy mags for mine, I asked an E7 SEAL I know who is now in the reserves, for advice. His recommendation was P-Mag, and when I asked why, he said because they don't break, and they don't bend. You can drive a vehicle over them, and they will still function. You bend, drop or crush a metal magazine, and it is done.
This made sense to me, so I have stocked up on P-mags.
Well I'll send said SEAL the three PMAGS that have broken feed lips to him.
LANCERS and nothing else for me.

Sig Forum's own SOCOM medic stated that P-Mags start having problems with cracks at the rear of the mag just below the feed lips. He also said the round counts were approaching the 100k mark so I guess if you can afford 100k of ammo an $8 P Mag has done it's service.

CD228USGI retrofitted with a magpul follower. For polymer, I'd look at Gen 3 Pmag and Tango down.

Jus228For us, any respectable mags without a date stamp are good to go.
