Pro mags

[oldman45]

Until yesterday, I owned a Pro Mag. I cannot say anything bad about it and the fact is it has worked for the little use I got from it.

Then I ran across a gun store that was closing it's doors as of last night. They had seven Pro Mags for a 1911 priced at $12 each. I bought them all figuring that I might get decent results out of the new ones.

Anyone here use them? If so, do you like them?

Won't use them, don't like them. It's just too easy to find examples of bad ones in addition to personal experience. Mec-Gars don't cost that much more and always work.

Hope yours are trouble free. If you're only going to use them for range mags the price is right.

Edited to say didn't register that you said 1911 until after I posted. Maybe they can do a single stack better but I still wouldn't bet my life on it.

I have used Pro Mag magazines in a CZ and a S&W59 without issues. I experienced some problems with ones for a Sig 226 which I sold several years ago.
CDNN has Metalform magzines for ca $10 to $12 for 1911's in several calibers.

Pro mag seems hit and miss (more often miss than hit). However, for some older, rare firearms, sometime they are the only option.

I will not use them for HD/SD guns. But if just for range fun, it's your money, enjoy them.

Old Man-I have several pro-mags for my model 59 S&W-which is a double stack-and I always thought they were good mags. Of course, they are older than I think, and sometimes that makes a difference-especially in the last 10 years, if you know what I mean. I guess the proofs in the shootin' padner-go safely. Flapjack.

You could have bought Metalform 1911 mags for $10.

The mags I bought are for the range. A typical range trip will have me shooting about 100 rounds through a 1911. That means loading several mags. I keep three mags loaded with socially select situation ammo.

Let's assume I will go through 12 mags at the range minimum. Then three mags loaded with the real meal deal. That makes 15 mags I need for that one gun.

I am trying to get maybe 75-100 mags that I can load up and carry with me to the range. That way I can load them in my spare time at home.

I will order some if you think they are good. Most of my current mags are ACT or McCormick. I wish I could find some Randall mags but they are difficult to locate now.

I just noticed the Metalform are seven round. Not a real problem but most of mine are eight round. Again, these mags are for the range.
