Magpul vs.metal...

I?ve had Magpul and steel AR mags for sale. The steel always sells before the Magpul does.

I?ve used both, but not extensively., and never noticed a problem with the Magpuls.

Has anyone had problems with the Magpuls (M2 model)? Is it like with Glocks - no one loves black plastic?

    I/we prefer Magpul mags as they don't wear or snag equipment and seats like the sharp corners of metal magazines. Not something that would be noticed those who "play" with their AR's but a significant consideration if you "live" with your AR.

    Prefer D&H aluminum 30 rounders (cheap from PSA quite frequently) or the old version of the OKay 20 round aluminum (USGI stuff) but do have and use a 10 round p-mag for target use, and have 10 30 rounders set aside for Just In Case or future trades.

    Don't really like the 10 rounder I have... it gives me slightly different points of impact when feeding from either side. I can shoot at 50 yards at one bull and get a 2" group, or I can switch between 2 bulls (left and right side feeding) and get 2 1.5" groups, each just a tad off from center.

    The 9mm AR carbine gets Glock 33 round mags, although I do have a Gen2 15 rounder and a Gen1 17 rounder. I also recently scored a 20 round ETS mag at a garage sale for $5 but I haven't tried it. If it shows to be as reliable then I may buy a few more of the ETS mags.

    The FAL gets only milsurp mags, have read all the bad reports about the Moses and DSA mags.

    When I had AKs they only got metal milsurp style mags.
