M1 carbine mags - garbage
Oh yeah. That's another one I have somewhere that was junk. Lol
M1 carbine mags - garbage
AR-15 mags. Actually they're the best kind on the market, and stay in business because of those.
We've all been enticed by the much cheaper ProMag brand of magazines on the rack.
Who amongst you has bought them and what has been your experience? Garbage? Good value?
I'd love to know!
I believe it was promag that made the awful mags bought by the mil for the M9.
We had checkmate too- I'm talking about M9 mags that were a bright blue almost like that cheap bluing that comes on a chinese AK. They had no markings of any kind on them, but they were present in large numbers through supply back in the day.I think you are thinking of Chekmate. It was more some acquisition weenie who spec'ed them to have a course texture applied to them for some unknown reason. Yes, they were horrible! I stomped the ones I came across so I could DX them for other mags. Chekmate makes good stuff and even sent me a replacement M9 mag as proof of it.
For Promag I would pass most times as they burned me many times in the past when I was younger and looking for a "deal". There are a few of their single stacks that I would buy if I did not have an option. Worth the few bucks more to not have another headache in my life.

I just bought a Bersa Thunder .380 and checked GunMag Warehouse for mags. The ProMags are out of stock, have you seen them available somewhere?I've never bought one, but I'm considering it for my bersa thunder for range use only
