I have never wanted a PCC more. I've been on the fence for a while but this could get me talked into it.

Hmm. This may prompt me to have a 9mm upper built for my .45 PCC. But that would be redundant seeing as I’ve already got a sweet MPX built up.

interesting

Just ordered some yesterday. Looking forward to receiving it.

A friend ordered a set.....we will see how they work.

I ordered 6 , hope guys produce for 40 rounds PMAG soon.

For me it looks like the breakeven on money is at about 7 mags vs. a new, dedicated 9mm lower. Hmm.

[HoMiE]

I’d just buy a dedicated lower, or you could try it with a cmmg guard upper since it doesn’t need the ejector tab that is the problematic issue.

Buy a whole new gun? Oh, twist my arm! Lol.

Works well for me so far:

Can someone help explain how these would work with Magpul 10-rounders (I'm in CT), if they would at all?  Thanks.

 

Currently I use a Stern Defense converter, which works quite well and is very reliable with most Glock mags.  But it would be nice to incorporate the same mag release as regular 5.56 mags.

They only work in 30 round mag bodies, but they come as 10 round capacity and you easily modify it for up to 30 yourself.

Yeah, the more I looked into it that's what I gathered.  Does it lock back after last round?  Thx.

Yes, they are designed to lock back on the last round.

A friend just picked one up. I hope it works. The idea is great, my only concern is the plastic ejector.  I don't know how long it will last in matches. Time will tell.

[Derrick-508]

no advantage until they make a 50rnd version...

[troupe]

This was designed for the average shooter who would like to economically shoot 9mm in the lower with only a 9mm upper. It was not designed for the PCC shooter, because the PCC market is small.  I think in time that they may build a 40 rnd for the P-Mag. It does not affect me, but I would like to see it catch on and hold up to PCC usage.

[bwikel]

When these came out I messaged the manufacture and asked when/if they planned on a 40rd. Pmag version. Their response was not anytime soon. They seemed more concerned about what color the follower of the next version should be versus offering additional capacity. I don't see this as a viable option for a competition PCC setup in its current state due to unknown ejector durability. 

[MoRivera]

Plus for those of us in restricted states, 30-rd-size P-Mags that only hold 10 res as opposed to 10-rd Glock 19 mags is quite a difference in size/bulk.  I hope they come out with a 10-rd P-Mag version.

There are a few issues with the Endomags.

 

The ejector is too soft. Occasionally it would move in front of the bolt and jam it up. I'm thinking of either applying some RTV or epoxy to stiffen it up, making it almost permanent installation.

 

2nd issue is even downloaded to 28 rounds, it is super hard to reload with the bolt forward. If the ejector moves on you in the mag pouch, you will never get it to lock. 

 

Since the ejector is on the mag, ULSC is a different process. You need to leave the mag in place, lock the bolt back, then remove the mag. If you don't do that, you have to manually remove the round from the bolt.
