Because you can stomp a PMag or run over it with a truck with no adverse affects.
Try that with your old school aluminum mags and get back to us.

Pmags are what USGI aluminum mags are not: Highly dent and damage resistant.
You don't worry about dents or damaged feed lips. You don't care if an elephant stomps your magazines into the dirt or they get run over by a 10 ton utility truck. You know they'll work...flawlessly. It's not hype or bullshit, it's simply the magazine made tougher than the rifle it works with. CJ |

Price isn't that different.
I don't have to worry about stepping on an empty mag at a match. PMAG is just more robust. PMAG holds 30 rounds forever. PMAGS are a little bulkier and don't fit in smaller pouches. |

So you had a mag double feed, then reinserted the SAME mag hoping for a different result? A double feeding mag isnt going to suddenly get better. ETA. Further, you have a sample size of one, and only one bad PMAG. Is that what you are basing that on? I know the claim of flawless was just as bad, but you wrote the whole product off cause of one bad mag? |
