AR 15 Magazines?

[DustyGmt]

I use a number of different Magpul magazines and have not had an issue yet, but other people don't think all that highly of them.

Who are these people?

Seriously, now that I'm thinking about it, every single solitaire thing I have ever reviewed, I have been able to find at least one person dumping on it basically without exception. Except for magpul. I can't recall ever seeing anything negative about them. But I do know for certain it wouldn't be all that hard to find a neg review. It's just weird that I never have...

I like the Brownells mags with tan followers. I like the 20 and 30 Pmags and their 60rd is reliable but too bulky to be really practical, magpul also makes fantastic Glock mags for about 1/3 the cost of a OEM.

20rd bushmasters and 20rd Colts. I have none of the angled Floor plate Colts anymore, a regret. Also I have found Duramags to be excellent quality for 5 and 10rd mags. They are very strong and well made. Good follower, good spring. I'm definitely a fan of duramags now. I like the small 5 and 10' s honestly

I have a couple rifles that take AR mags and honestly the big brands you see in all the stores, they all seem to work fine. When I got my first AR I bought Magpul because that's what the stores near me had. But over time I've switched over to mostly Lancers. Can't honestly say they're "better" but I prefer them. I suspect (but can't prove) that the steel feed lips are stronger and will last longer. I can say that if you drop a loaded magazine the Lancer is less likely to have rounds pop out than a Magpul, or at least that's my experience. And unlike the P-Mags that have a skinny little window you can get L5 Warfighters that are clear or translucent which I like. Lots of colors, too. It's handy for color coding different kinds of ammo.
