Drum Mag

[rowdyb]

Am I the only one running a drum mag? This 50 rounder I've had from Xproducts for about 3 years has always worked perfectly. Yeah yeah, it costs $230 bucks but it holds 50 rounds, feeds perfectly, keeps the mass close to the gun, made in the usa and has a lifetime warranty.

 

Of course, Colt pattern only.

I've thought about the Korean Glock drum, but haven't seen or heard of enough people running drums in matches.

If I could find one for an MPX, I would.

Drums don't make sense for colt or glock mags when you can splice 2 mags together with the taccom system. It is much more economical and has the same or more capacity.

[rowdyb]

sure is easier for me to run and move around with a drum over two mags spliced together. mass centralization.

The last match I went to were 4-32 round stages. A drum would have been no advantage. A Glock 33 round mag for $29 is better for my wallet.

Hello: My Metalform 32 round mag with a Taylor Freelance base pad holds 40 rounds plus two 20-27 round mags on the belt is all I have needed for any USPSA pistol match I have shot so far. I think the drum would be great for an all steel match or some of the monster matches out there. Too bad they don't cost under $100, I would have a couple then. Thanks, Eric

Don't waste your money. I have one it is not that reliable.

I send a request about once a week to Magpul for a D60 mag in 9mm.  If they could get a 60 round drum for $100 it would definately sell.

Glad to hear yours runs well. I've been thinking about picking one up for the occasional super high round count outlaw match.  I usually run Taylor Freelance, can you say how the drum feels compared to the 40rnd mag/extensions?

Black Dog Machine was working on one for the Glock. I saw a prototype at the SAR gunshow in December... hopefully it will be available for purchase sooner rather than later.

I bought a foreign made drum because some goon on Facebook was like "yeah mine runs great" and I couldn't help myself.  It was a salt shaker immediately.  I should have known better.

[bmiller]

We must have ran across the same goon.

Thankfully all the local USPSA clubs I shoot at go by level 2+ rules. No stages over 32rds, so 41rd mags are fine. I would buy a good Glock drum though if somebody made one.

They also just announced release of their HK MP5 model.
