ProMags

[nanney1]

I'm sure this has been covered before, but how reliable are the ProMags for the M&P's? Looking at the 17 round M&P mags online and I saw the ProMags for less.

Get ready, you opened the floodgate.

In my experience and opinion, they are only a waste of money.

I don't know how reliable Pro-Mags are. I do know that when I returned one which would not function, the company sent neither replacement nor refund and refused to reply to my correspondence.

Just watched a review on Youtube that was positive, but the comments went either way. Some said they were flawless and others said they were trash.

I can't take credit for this, but worth a repeat:

I have a couple of Pro-Mags for my M&P, but the rest are all Magpul. No problems with the Pro-Mags, but S&W ships a Magpul with the M&P15. I'd think they have a preference.

I bought preban Promags for the AR and the Mini-14 during the federal AWB. They were dookie. When the AWB expired, I threw all that **** away and bought real magazines. Save your money.

I had a thread here many months ago on this subject. I inadvertently bought some Promag magazines at a gun show. After a couple of months, I had issues and threw them all away. They would feel "gritty" as I loaded them. Then, at the range, I had a FTF and removed the magazine. The spring got jammed up and the remaining few rounds were loosely laying down inside the magazine.
However, I have 2 spare Promag magazines for my Beretta 92s and they've been fine.

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS BUY PROMAGS!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't even make good targets because you have to pay for them.

I don't know how you can consistently mess up a rectangle with a spring in it but Promag excels at producing ****.

I won't carry them in the store. If you want to practice malfunction drills, they are the ones for you. If you want to use them in your carry gun, please wear a toe tag and notify your next of kin now. Though, I hope your insurance agent isn't a gun guy...

I only buy S&W mags for my S&W pistols. I do a lot of research before I buy anything, and Pro Mags don't have a very good reputation. You can always find deals out there for the REAL thing!

I'm sure I've told this before -

When a local Gander Mtn closed up, they had things down to 60-75% off. Mags of any manufacturer were basically gone, with empty racks. Hate to say I participated, but was paying $10 for $40 mags, so ...

EXCEPT - the ProMag panel was close to full. They couldn't give them away. I was told by an employee that they finally, in the last few days, sold them for a pittance (less than $5 each was mentioned) to a shark who flips things at gun shows.

I think that speaks for itself.

I have never bought one separately, but recently purchased a gun that had a ProMag magazine included. So far it is working fine, but have six factory magazines for it also...probably best to look for factory ones at a good price as mentioned above.

I bought a rag nasty looking Sig P6 a few weeks ago that had two ProMags. One worked with five rounds only, the other with seven. I took them apart and the springs were made differently, different lengths and tension. I believe neither were original. My experience with various ProMag magazines is that the quality is sub par.

 

[Okie21]

I didn't think about it until after I threw away my Promag magazines. But, can you replace the Promag spring and follower with S&W parts?

Some ProMags work...some don't....I just don't want to be the one who finds out if it works or not. All my 8rd S&W mags have Hyve +2 extensions...they all work.

I had a Hyve +2 for my Glock 43 that worked well for a while. Then, it stopped feeding the 8th round. It would occasionally work or I could just add 7 rounds, but that sort of defeated the purpose. Apparently, the +3 spring from Hyve will remedy this problem with the +2 mags.

Better off finding the stock S&W M&P mags for a reasonable price than
messing with aftermarket mags.
