jpeterson Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I am wanting to purchase 10 para magazines for my P-14 limited. Has anyone tried the PSI ACT-Mag? I'm wondering if these function like my factory magazines. They are considerably lower in price than factory magazines. There is also Pro mag brand for around the same price. I'm needing some if these are a bad idea. I have 5 para magazines now that work flawlessly. I'm needing some for practice. Thanks for any info.

SharonAnne9x23 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 It will not get you 10 but have you looked into the Para USA web page? You can buy 3 Para magazines for $75 through the Para Owners Association. Joining is free and the instructions are on the page. Factory magazines for $25 each is hard to beat. Yes it is for 3 only but it gets you on your way with Para Factory quality mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Factory tubes, Wolff springs, factory followers, Base pads as determined by mag funnel or game your playing. Any thing else is pretty much a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Mec Gars are OK, but the tubes are too short to work with any type of mag funnel, they also wont slide lock reliably, nor do they have any resale value, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory_k Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 No mag would ever lock my slide back. My Slide lock and a disc sander got into a little disagreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elynch2007 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Change the mag release to a good stainless steel release and use STI mags, with a little tuning they will work very well in 1640's. Edited May 9, 2009 by elynch2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParaGunner Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I got a Para mag from CDNN and it was not the same quality as a factory mag. I twas not stamped and the spring had 1 less coil than the factory mags. Plus CDNN charges $15 for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 For Para club members, which only takes a minute or so to sign up , 3 complete nickle magazines for $75 and surprisingly they didnt try to gouge you on shipping. cause the $75 was including shipping. They arrived in about 3 days. I got some for my Para which is only my backup or IDPA gun I never shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I bought 3 nickle mags for my P18 as well and one guy I know used that same offer to get 9 mags for his new Para as it had no limit on the number purchased.

I was going to order from them, but with the shipping, plus tax (I live in Texas) and inferior mag quality I will order direct from Para! I've ordered from CDNN and was happy with the product. It was a factory P16 mag and it had the Para +2 basepad already installed for $34. It was blued instead of nickel plated, but otherwise just like my others. For those stages that don't require 21+1 rounds, it's perfect, and I didn't have to spend the extra for Dawson base pads. The shipping is tough, but I waited until I needed a few (different) mags.

Karl The 45 mag I recieved from CDNN was the extended one and it had surface rust all over it,it also did not even lock back my slide. Maybe I just got a real bad one,but I returned it and got the nickel mag and it seemed kinda janky,no Para markings and the spring was shorter than my other real Para mags. The only positive is that it's worked so far,but I don't use it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
