LOLOL!!!

Oh man! I'll bet Rover is in the dog house, big time!

I prefer metal for my defense weapons and when hunting. It's more of a tried and true thing that has never failed me. I do have poly mags I use on the range.

There is a certain satisfaction to be had when you unwrap 50 year old metal magazines.

Metal of course...
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
Iron Maiden
Metallica
Krokus
Fast Way
Saxon
Oh wait .... wrong metal... sorry.
Andy

Hah! Saxon opened the first concert I went to, Cheap Trick. Quite a combo. Thread jack over.

IMHO, it really depends on the magazine. Polymer can be more durable than people will give it credit, and some metal magazines aren't up to the task.

Whatever works works. Though for an AR, 20 round aluminum mags cause they look nice. For everything else, whatever I can get and afford.

 

[Who The F R U]

SO I am wondering why some people go with Metal over Polymer or Polymer over Metal magazines.

Circle K, sanchez ind. ,center ind. is all we would carry.
That plastic crap is OK for FOBIT's, Com's guys and rear D. That want to look cool.
If you want to bet your life on a pile go ahead we never did.

Nothing wrong with having both. Pmags and aluminum 30s and 20s from Brownells. My pistols are all steel.

Aluminum

That's EXACTLY what I see (almost) every time I see a stippled poly-gun....

Green on the 30s, Black on the 20s, no problems yet. But NO tan followers on mine but thanks for the heads up.

 

[Boboclown]

Never had an issue with anti-tilt followers with a 30 round magazine. Its the 20 round magazines that should never have one.

It depends on the firearm, but I mostly like polymer.

I've had too many problems with the follower binding in metal mags or something getting bent out of spec just slightly and causing serious malfunctions.

I only buy pmags and glock factory mags, so I can't comment on the budget polymer manufacturers.

Igloo range bag?

Igloo range bag?

It's an igloo playmate lunch container. I found it while driving my 4x4 out in the Mohave desert back when I was stationed in San Diego in the navy. Works great as a range bag
