| Seen these for sale on various websites, in both polymer and aluminum iterations. The aluminum variants appear to be grey anodized. Anybody have any positive/negative experiences with these? |

I bought a bunch of the steel KCI mags from Global |
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

Run fine, and I'm not one of those weight queens that need everything as light as possible, but those mags are noticeably heavy. For $5 though, I'm fine with them. ETA: These are the AR mags. I tried a few Glock mags and they were pretty unreliable. Have quite a few of the AK mags and they work fine with the caveat being I had to do some file work to get them to fit in a few with tighter magwells. |

| The $5 steel mags from Global Ordnance were SHK not KCI. The steel SHK ($5 mags) have worked flawless for me. I can't speak for KCI AR mags, but the Glock mags have rand flawless for me in every Glock or clone that takes Glock mags. 15 / 17 and 33 rounders included. |

I have had great luck with the following KCI Mags: -M1 Carbine 15, 30 rd even in full auto -Glock mags 19, 17, 23 -MP5 mags I want one of those AR15 120rd drums but see mixed reviews of those - kind of curious if those work reliably or not. I have not tried their AR15 mags of any kind the polymer ones just look strange but if they made metal ones I would try them. Those steel global ordnance mags are reliable in my experience. |
