I need a small handful of 20 round mags just a few for things like shooting from the bench or throwing in a pocket or having the rifle fit in a case with a magazine in it minor miscellaneous little stuff like that.
I don't need any sort of collector or vintage stuff they don't have to be cold they don't have to be aluminum or straight body or whatever they just need to work. I know there is lancers and pmags and I think D&H and c products. What do you like for a 20 round mag that's a current production item not some vintage collectible? Thx. |

I have a couple Brownells straight mags and a couple PMags. Either one works fine, just whatever is in my range bag.

I use these D&H ones from BCM pretty much exclusively now…mostly 30s but I’ve got a handful of 20s for the exact purposes you listed.
They’re out of stock I see but put your email in to be notified, they come back into stock frequently enough. Can’t beat the price or quality in my opinion. D&H 20 round mags |

Pmag would be my first choice of what is currently available.

If. Shooting from the bench the pmag 10 round is great. I have a couple that I use with my ruger American Ranch and are very handy. I also have some old Colt 20 round magazines that I used on the rifle team for Shooting seated and prone. They also work great. I have a few straight original pmag 20 round magazines that are much smaller than the 3rd generation. All are great haven't been a problem. Also good for safe storage so rifle fits and doesn't bump into everything.

I've never had any issues with Lancer, and I do train and shoot comps. They don't feed quite as slick as Pmags do, but they feed well enough to work fine for me, including using steel case ammo. Note that my 20s are generally used only for LR shooting, so they are not run as hard as my 30s, but still no issues. They only mainstream "trusted" magazines that I have had issues with are Okay with steel case ammo. |

Unlike most people here, I have more 20 round AR mags than 30's as I like the shorter length for shooting from bench or shooting prone. Based on my 25 years of shooting AR rifles/carbines/pistols here are my order of preference:
1. 20 round curved P-mag - I picked these up about 8 years ago and have never had any problem with them. I also use them with 300BLK without any problem. I've heard origional strait ones don't work as well but I have no experience with them. 2. GI 20 round mags with aluminum follower - I have bunch of these from many years ago when they were $4-$5 each. They are very reliable but I only load 18 rounds as it's an old habit of mine. I have had some feeding problems when using 300BLK. 3. 20 round 2nd generation Hexmag - I have 3 of these and they all seem to work well in my AR's based on 1 year of usage. They seem to work well with 300BLK too. 4. 20 round Thermold mags - I know a lot of people talk shit about Thermolds but I had 10 of them back about 20 years ago and I never had any problem with them in my AR-15 or AR-180B. So these are my order of prefences based on my experience. |

I have had good service from PMAG 20s and 10s in .223 and .300 BLK. I just started trying Lancer 10s. I much prefer 10 and 20rd magazines for their compactness and ease of use at the bench. Plus, I can’t afford to fill the 30rd.
I have had no problems with D&H curved or PMAG straight 20s. Hard to beat the PMAG 20s. |

Any opinions of the John Masen (sp?) aftermarket aluminum followers? Are you sure you have the Thermold mags rather than the Mastermold mags? I thought Thermold was Canadian and Mastermold was American. |

Lancer. The bulk of my competition rounds are fired in 20 rounnd Lancer.
They come in colors, allowing easy segregation as well. Like when doing load development.  |

The only 20s I have are C Products Duramags that I bought on a whim with another purchase, and they have worked great.
I am pissed off at my Okay E2 30 round mags, but I might get some of those 20 round mags. |
