Bill Schwab Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have a JP 22 upper on the way, and was wondering which Black Dog Machine mags you guys recommend...I thought I read somewhere to get the ones with stainless steel feed lips (10 or 26 round), is that your experience? Do the 26 round mags work well? Here's a link to the mags: Mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagdrag Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Get the ones with the SS feed lips. They will be the most reliable and durable. Just to add: I had glass filled nylon BDM mags with polymer lips and the lips were pretty much crap and causing misfeeds within 6 months of use. That's how I switched to the SS lips.

Bearcave Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The only problem with 26rd magazines is they have to be reloaded more often then 50rd magazines. The poly lipped magazines work fine. I have both poly and steel lip mags, when poly wear out will start using steel lipped mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

45shooter Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Get the polymer they work fine. I actually get the Sig mags. They are cheaper in my shop than the blackdog and are made by blackdog. No idea what the deal is but the Sig mags were 3 bucks or so cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickB Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Go with the X-form steel lip mags. That said, I have a few of the old style polymer lip BDM mags and no issues with those... 44mag.com had the best prices when I bought mine...

Any lip on a mag other than SS for. 22 Cal is complete garbage. Constant ftf with my 10/22 until I learned my lesson and started going with SS, then magically all my problems went away.

assaulter Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I never had problems with the standard mags. The black dog website has them for $10 right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
