Magpul’s PMAG has become the go-to AR-15 magazine for the majority of gun owners and the US Military, thanks to its durability, reliability, and affordability. Over the years, we’ve seen upgrades made and new models released, which may leave you confused about which PMAG is best.

The question becomes not whether you should buy PMAGs, but what generation you should purchase. Gen M2 or Gen M3?

I’ve got 10…all have been function verified, but…tbh. When I shoot AR’s at the range, I use PMags.

But, since my go-to 556 is my AUG…

It might sound odd, but I have never used a metal mag. I did buy one, as close as I could find to an old USGI Vietnam era 20 rd. for my pal Jim, but I only inserted it into his M16 clone I built for him to make sure it would go. I never loaded it or fired it.

My 1st AR, the Witch Doctor, had a few Amend 2 mags in it, but I soon found those were sketchy. None of my other ones have ever fielded anything other than Gen 2 P mags.
 
I've used original AR aluminum 20rd mags for years. Eventually the feed lips get all wonky and cause issues. Used many other metal mags both 20 & 30 round. Tried some magpul m2 and have not looked back. I like the window version for convenience. My local place of business sold them for less than $10 for the 30, I have a extra large 20mm ammo can full of them both 20 an 30 rd. 96% of them new in package. I've not wore one out yet.
