robbiespratt Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 So I ran across these ACT-Mag magazines the other day. I ordered several for my P320 to bang and beat on and see how they would hold up. I've been running tem for several weeks now and have yet to have any failures. I have been running them in their stock 17 round configuration as well as a couple with springer +5 extensions with grams followers and springs. The build quality seems very good. While I do get the 17 and 23 rounds respectively in the magazines I have to use a loader to get the last round in. Despite them being tight I have had now issue inserting a magazine with the slide forward and also no issue stripping the first round out of the magazine when the gun cycles. https://actmagusa.com/ourproduct/ Just wanted to see if anyone else has any experience with them.

thormx538 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I didn't even know they made mags for the P320. $19.95 at Greg Cote, not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's where I ordered them from. I did not either. Looks like they are expanding there magazine selection. I know lots of guys that run them in CZ and say they have no issues with them.

OPENB Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Looks to be a better choice than ETS. Wish they made a 21rd. mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew ETS was going to have mags available but I have not seen any in person... Do they suck? if so, what is the issue with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I decided to pass on the ETS after they were universally despised here and on a FB Sig 320 group. Followers stick, tubes swell, continuous jams. I’d try the ACT mags if I were to shoot production for the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey1313 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I got a couple... Couldn't pass on the price. I've put about 500 rnds through each without a hiccup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.45 ACP nut Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I have used Act-mag's in my P220, in 1911's (9mm + .45 acp), a P226, CZ 75, to name a few. I've never had any issues with them. Act-mag mags are pretty top-notch magazines, as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirectDrive Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 As good or better than MecGar mags. ACT is an excellent and beautiful Italian made mag. My one USA P320 mag works OK but its finish is nowhere near that of the ACT mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thormx538 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I ended up buying several and ran them at the range the other day. No issues. They are basically indistinguishable from factory mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stango424 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Good to hear I've been looking at getting some of these also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertLx Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I was curious about these ACT mags as well. I’ve had a bad experience with ACT mags in 1911s. The back of the mag would develope a crack at the top at the feedlips and spread out causing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 That cracking rear was an issue for some older design WC SS mags also. Had to drag a needle file in the top back corners to avoid stress cracks. They fixed the designs years ago. ACT doublestack mags have been very dependable and durable for me. Well made tubes at a great price! Just verify feedlip spacing on all new mags.

RePete Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) I wish I had know about PSI-ACT making 320 mags. I have 9 of the mags for my STI Trojan in 45, and love them, no issues with cracking. Bought 10 or 11 years . A friend bought the mags at the same time, same order from Brownells, for his Kimber Desert Warrior and all of his cracked. Brownells stepped up to the plate and replaced the with CMC's, no charge for shipping and he paid the difference in the price.

jcc7x7 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 They just don't feed smoothly and load the gun as smoothly as factory mags do. PM me if you want them I'll sell them cheap. I've got 3 I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about the Stoeger basepad, but the ACT-Mag's as shipped are reported to be working in X-frames without any modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting! Just curious. Picked up a Legion x5 a few days ago, and am really enjoying it. Kinda wanna give it a run at production and see how I do compared to my Tanfos. But it seems destined to be a carry optics gun for now. I did find out that Henning makes X5 base pads that are almost identical to the Sig ones. Who knows they might even make the ones sig sells. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAm Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I guess my last questions is would the Henning pads or the Legion pads work on the ACT Mags? I'm hoping yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
