Are ProMags Good?

[rmg200]

Simple yes or no. If you care to elaborate feel free.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Ive used them for an m&p when mags were really scarce. they function fine.

 

[tradertator]

​NO

 

[loudpedal]

I have also used them in my M&P with no problems.

Sad thing is some are good, some are not.

They work perfectly in my GSG-5 but not so perfectly in my Beretta 92FS. Personal feeling is they are pot luck as to how well they will work in your firearm.

Yup, Promags are hit and miss. Some of their models work well and some don't. Some years back I had several of their 20rd mags for 40 cal Ruger P series I used in a Ruger PC-4 carbine and couldn't have been more pleased. Not the first problem.
Have also had some of their Sig 228 13rd 9mm mags. Not so good.

I was gifted two ak Promags.....they could both be knocked from the mag well with a modest bump. They sucked.

In a word, Junk! Would not take a truckload of them, and yes I have tried a lot of them.

Thanks for the warning, folks!

NO Sig PM suck. Loaded several mags to reduce tension on the new mags and they stuck part way down and never worked again.
Their only mag that I know of that works ,is their poly one for AR 15 9mm. I have one and it works fine.

They aren't top tier, but I wouldn't call them junk either. I would recommend other options if available.

I got two ProMags for my M&P that I've designated for beating-up on at the range and for dry practice only (dropping them on the hard ground for instance), so as to not beat up on my S&W mags holding my SD ammo. The ProMags function adequately for training purposes, though I wouldn't stake my life on them. The only issue I've observed with them in the hundreds of rounds put through is that they tend to lock the slide while there's still one round left in the mag.

In a strange way, I actually PREFER mags prone to malfuctioning for training purposes to give me unexpected malfunctions to practice clearing.

No issues in my S&W 3 gen pistols.

​NO

I have 4 H&K mags and 4 pro mags. The pro mags aren't even good enough for range use. Constantly stovepipe rounds or just FTF and empty chambers. Spend more and have less mags but better quality.

 

[dsol]

Bought a couple for a little 9mm carbine and I can say that in my limited experience with them, ProMag blows dead bears.

 

[ArevaloSocom]

Bought a 20rn one for my MK23 and it has always worked.

Better than Triple K but that's not saying much. Best "aftermarket" magazine is MecGar.

Mec Gear is often the OEM magazine for many gun companies, just rebranded with whoever's name they are making them for.

Good for range toys, bad for anything you may actually need to defend yourself with.
