I'd say Pro-Mag is to magazines as Yugo is to automobiles, but that would be unfair to Yugo.

I own 4 promags for my Saiga and all work just fine. My LGS sells them for like $10-$15 I wouldn't pay more than that for one. If you hunting for mags, SG Ammo has actual PMags and com block steel mags for awsome prices.

I've had Promags for AR, Mini-14 and Remington 597, as well as several pistols. Not the best out there, but they worked fine for me.

Yes. Pro-mags are alright, but Magpul brand P-mags are generally awesome. They're totally gnar.

Those are magpul mags. Same as these: http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG572/PMAG

Surplus mags from Europe run like champs in AKs. They are the gold standard.

I always though PMAG was short hand for 'plastic magazine' in general. It's actually a trademark? Learn sumthin' every day.

Just to make it absolutely clear, ProMag is a manufacturer that makes magazines for a great deal of firearms, but generally has a poor reputation. Pmags are Magpul's line of polymer magazines. Magpul has a much more limited selection of models that they make magazines for, but (with a couple of exceptions involving older generations of 20rd AR15 magazines) are very highly regarded.

The AK pmag's are well-respected. The only issue they have is that they don't have metal reinforcements along the feed lips and the rear tab, which are both high-wear areas for AK's. Last I heard, Magpul is working on releasing a new version with metal reinforcements.

I have P Mags and Pro Mags and the main difference is that P Mags work (bought the Pro Mags during the bad times).
Tomorrow my Z Mags will be shipping

This! To separate companies, to separate levels of quality.

I would not buy Promags. I have heard AK Pmags are good, but I would rather have some Bulgarian circle 10 mags.
