I'm not going to rush to throw away my Lancers anytime soon, but having more options on the market is always good.

I’m interested in trying a few. Wonder if they will offer them in SR25 and AK patterns.

I just ran across the promo video.

Interesting. They spent a LOT of time here on the forums arguing that a good transparent AR mag was impossible.
I’ll grab a bunch just because I’m a mag whore. |

My memory is fuzzy. What I remember is that they said it was difficult to make a quality translucent magazine. Then they bashed Lancer when those came out. Then they announced a transparent mag that was vaporware.

Then they announced a transparent mag that was vaporware. Their war against Lancer was pretty distasteful. Not as bad as Larue or Armalite were against their competitors, but still pretty cringey. People still repeat their BS rumor that Lancer came in last in military testing. When the results were released it turned out the Lancer performed equally to the PMAG except with Mk318, and for some reason it only had issues out of direct impingement guns. |

I love Magpul stuff, but this may be a day late and a dollar short. I don’t care about the past things said against lancer or anyone else. I think they just couldn’t manufacture one that lived up to there expectations for what a magazine should be. I respect them keeping it off the market until they were confident that the durability would be on par with there current offerings. I say a day late and dollar short due to the fact that lancers are out there and seem to work (I have none) from reports here and elsewhere, an also because if it can’t come to market at the price point of there current magazines or lancer then I don’t see me buying a ton of them. See through doesn’t equal worth more money in my eyes.

neat magpul finally doing something new on the mag market. been awhile. I feel like they pulled a surefire or a colt and got so used to being king they just let everyone keep going and now have to play catch up. That high price tag might be more than the market is willing to tolerate but maybe its a sign magpul will get off the couch and do more colors or something. Still gonna buy one for my collection cause I have to.

Still gonna buy one for my collection cause I have to. Not anything "new" that they are doing. They have been trying to give this to us since the PMAG first dropped. They haven't had a polymer that's been worth a shit tho. Now they have something exclusive to them, that works. We may start seeing different colors, depending on what color will do to the polymer. They have always been trying something different, it just hasn't given the best results. The price tag comes with that exclusive polymer that makes this work. Same for the AMAG, cost of material will drive those mags for future. |

I like magpul but I've had to toss a few out due to wear/aging. Steel feed lips would have been nice.
Haven't had to toss out any aluminum, steel or Lancer mags yet. But the options are cool. |

Cool, but meh. I've got a few lancers I bought primarily for the fun colors, transparent adds little to it. Can't recall the last time I looked at a windowed pmag/lancer for a rd check. But I'm also not on a battle field.
