barebones1 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 just finished my first "dedicated" 3gun rifle. It crossed my mind, I poured over hours of research and advice. I have put zero thought into what mags to run. any input would be helpful. thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip3 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) I like pmags with the window. That way if I reload between stages, I do not have to unload the mag before loading it to make sure it has the right number of rounds.

Blue Jacket Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Same here I prefer P-mag with a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have an assortment of Pmags as well; 20rd, 30rd, 40rd, etc. Some of the various pmag versions do not play well with some AR magwells. Also, for stages that require mandatory reloads, the steel mags drop very reliably... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotMRD Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 PMag gen 2 and 3. 30 and 40 round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barebones1 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Are the windows open on the pmags? Dirt get in? Or they covered in clear Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 They're covered in clear plastic. Get several sizes of pmag. 20, 30, 40. Maybe even the 30+18 Nordic instead of the 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I use P-mags of various configurations. single 30 rounders, coupled 30 rounders, 40 rounders, 30 rounders with a Nordic+18 extension. All depends on the stage and situation. But its all Magpul for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I like metal mags, you can seat the bullets longer and they tend to seat and drop free easier for me. Just make sure you good followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Two 20's clamped together, two 30's clamped, one 30, one 45, one 35, and two 35's clamped together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 20 round Pmag on my belt at all times, several Pmag 30's and 40's in the bottom of my bag somewhere and a Pmag 40 with TTI extension that's used 97% of the time. I use ASC SS mags in my longer range rifle so I can load to 2.31 with the heavy bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm liking the Lancer mags. Poly body with steel feed lips. Lightweight, & the lips won't spread out. My 3 gun rifle has a tight magwell, & Pmags can be sticky in it. GI & Lancers fall right out. They be had in translucent to see remaining rounds.

HRider Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Another Pmag user here (for .223 ARs). I use Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3 30rd, some with windows and some without. I also have a few 40 rounders with TTI extensions. I use different color mags or baseplates for hoser stuff vs long range ammo. All of the Pmags that I have tried drop free from the carbines that I use regularly. I have had good service from Brownells aluminum mags as well. I use Armalite steel mags in my AR10.

Dan Sierpina Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 P Mags in 20, 30 and 40 with an extension. I prefer the extended 40's since the follower really doesn't leave the mag body. My +18 Nordic extensions are the orginals, with a cut up P Mag and aluminum coupler. Those can be a bit fussy at time. Oh, and some old G.I. mags as well.

Edge40 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I like the Pmags. Never had an issue with them. They just work and I'm a big fan of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 G.I. aluminium, had WAY too many P-Mags fail by cracked feed lips, rough internal surfaces causing nose dives etc. And when it is really cold....well most P-Mags don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviesterno Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Lancer 20, 30 singles, 30 doubles, a couple of the 48 round lancers, and a couple of 60 round Surefires. with that combo I've been good for any situation or stage I've seen thus far.

caspian guy Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 For single mags I use h&k steel 30s nothing I have found reloads or falls out as smoothly... a pair of gi style 20 rounders coupled with Aredondo mag couplers for where that is required, magpul 40 with extension or cproducts steel 40 with the orange follower. And when absolutely required (rarely) a genuine beta c-mag. I'd be interested in trying one of the magpul drums but haven't had the opportunity.
