Is it me or do magazines made by ProMag Industries really suck???

[Craig B]

I bought 3 mags made by ProMag Industries and all of them caused malfunctions in my guns.

I bought the ProMag versions of an extended 32-round mag for my Sig P226 and two 10-round mags for my VEPR-12 AK semi-auto shotgun. With these ProMags, I experienced a malfunction with about 40% of shots fired. And by malfunction, I mean totally jamming up the gun. I hope after multiple attempts to "break in" these mags I didn't damage either of my guns.

BTW, when using mags from other manufacturers, these same guns run flawlessly. I mean, like never a failure. So, I'm just about 100% sure the issue is ProMag and not the guns themselves.

Maybe ProMag magazines work better with other models, but from my experience, I'd personally stay away from ProMag Industries.

P.S. I bought one of these mags from GrabAGun.com.They would not let me return them and said I needed to contact ProMag directly. When I talked to ProMag, they said they would not give me a refund, but they would ship me a replacement mag in about 4 weeks. Great! Now I need to wait a month to get another crappy mag that probably won't work either. So, be warned about both ProMag and GrabAGun. Their motto should be "Our mission is poor quality combined with lousy service!"

Weird. That's the first I've ever heard anything bad about them.....

They're pretty well known for being terrible.

I'm looking for a 30-round (or greater) mag for a Sig P226.

Anyone have a recommendation on a good quality manufacturer?

Target Sports makes one, but it's also listed at a pretty low price, so I'm afraid it will be another low quality mag that's totally unreliable.

Pretty sure Promag magazines are just stage props.

A cheap after market mag that does not work? Say it isn't so!

Son got Saiga some years ago....and a box of stick & round mags. The round ones were junk when received, junk as he tried the various remedies, the replacements were junk, and they never did work as advertised. Not to mention he was warned beforehand...

Even before I owned my first gun, I was aware ProMags are anything but pro... unless you add "blem" to the end.

Sucks you got screwed. If you have the time and inclination, compare it to a mag that works and see if you can alter it. If not, after the sting goes away, chalk it up to paying for a lesson learned.

Yeah, the couple I bought a few years ago were great for malfunction drills...

 

[Kruel J]

They're crap.

ProMag mags are military surplus.
The military scatters them in the enemy's area of operation.
This ensures non-functioning enemy weapons.

Promag is always known for crap mags

Much like a working Kimber 1911 magazine, or any other mag from Kimber, or a working Lee LoadMaster reloading press, I hear of working ProMag magazines, but no one will actually SHOW it to me in person. I am not saying they are not out there, just if you see hundreds of each of them, one might, sort of, kinda, maybe, possibly may not screw up 100% of the time, only 99% of the time. Well, OK, that might be an exaggeration, Kimber mags and Lee LoadMaster presses always screw up 100% of the time!

Mec Gar is the go to for metal extended mags. Not sure if they offer a 30 for the particular model you need.

Only problem with my blued mec gar hi power mags is that they're too pretty to drop. I honestly don't even like touching them without a silicone wipe down.

Bought one for my M1a and Mossberg MVP. It wouldn't lock in until I filed about 1/16th off the bottom of the lug. Other than that it works fine.

Friends don't let friends buy Triple K, Pro Mag or USA Magazines

Ahhh, usa mags.

Are they even in business? I have only one "mod" that I know works. Move the follower from 5 rd factory mini 14 mag into a 30 rd usa . Still not perfect but will run.

 

[SonicBlue03]

Promags are great.

For anything other than use in firearms.
