I've never understood why folks don't examine the design details on after-market magazines just as should be done with any other accessory.
I've found the Mini to be as good as any other rifle when the reliability of the first shot's point of aim/impact is important. I'm mostly a hunter, so the Mini is therefore as good as any AR or bolt-action within the limits of the cartridge. I've had four Minis since they first began production, and I'm on my fifth AR at the moment. What the heck, I can't help being a trader.
Relaibility? A few thousand rounds through Minis and ARs and I can't tell the difference. Keep 'em reasonably clean, lightly lubed and it's "Point it and pull; Hell ain't half-full."
Self-defense accuracy? Either one will shoot minute-of-torso until you get bored and quit. Or run out of torsos.
Beyond that? Hey, Justin has it 100%.
FWIW, I note that this is about the gazillionth iteration of a troll question...
