I have zero experience with a hexmag, and I've heard good ish reviews of them, but for the same money why not buy a pmag?

Years ago, before I really got into ARs, I had 26 USGI mags I brought back from Iraq when they told us we could have them and alot of people didn't want them. At some point, I needed money, so I sold them. I obviously wish I had never done that.
Now I have alot of Gen2 & Gen 3 PMAGs of various colors, capacity & calibers, several Lancers, a few Thermolds & a few .350L mags from CMMG & Duramag. But the one I use the most is a 10 round Bushmaster from the '90s that is my sight-in mag for my 5.56 and .300 BLK guns. I love that thing. I also traded for 3 USGI 30's the other day to go with my Dissipator build. Last time I checked, BCM had D&H 30's for $10.95. I plan to buy a few more of those as they are solid mags.

I get it. Honestly, I wouldn't mind trying out a hexmag for my own curiousity.

Here's a pmag at palmetto if you use code"pmag" it's $8.99 before everything hits.

I don't want to brag about the brilliant guy who started this thread years ago, but it's still going and is full of places to look for deals on mags. Most of the deals have come and gone, but many of those same websites are still putting out the deals. A 10 pack of pmags can be had all day long for under $100. Seems like I've been saying it since 2014 apparently, but there's no better time to be stocked up on mags than right now especially in our current political environment.

Latest deal on Pmags thread?

It seems like we've got plenty of topics that just run continuously with no end of updates on wherever the latest great deal is on ammo, or whatever. I was wondering if that'd be a good thing to get started on Pmags. The reason I'm asking is that I had a buddy ask me where he could buy some...

I have one of these hex mags. No idea where it came from, must have been on sale somewhere. No complaints though, it has worked fine so far.

 

[grillak]

just ordered 8 pmags...good thing i'm stocked on baloney

 

[jerrob]

What, are you a cop? lol

No, I buy the cheap, crappy ones from Target that if you put 64 mags in, it'll break.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it, but my stupid conscience and that whole "thou shall not steal" shtick would eat my weak ass alive.
