Tapco vs Magpul Ar Magazines

Im looking to get a few new magazines for my AR is one better than the other?

There isn't much of a price difference, so that isn't an issue

never had tapco but i have 4 p mags and love them, the look and feel are great, i think polymer is the way to go.

I think this is a bit of a Ford vs. Ferrari comparison. One may work fine enough but one is sweeeeeeeet. I have a Tapco AK mag and while it works, it is rough. All my AR Pmags just pop right in and out and are supposed to be near indestructible. The AK mag of course goes in different and AK's all seem to have varying degrees of slop to have to deal with and are all made cheap as all get out so I don't want to kick the Tapco too hard. It only needed a little sanding to be smooth feeding and fitting. But the Pmags just worked from the first minute. And I like the dust covers for keeping pressure off the feedlips when in storage. You might also check out Lancer mags. I bought a couple and they are pretty good also. I'm thinking of getting a twenty rounder for range use on a sandbag.

EDIT: C Products stainless steel mags… I'm not sure what to say. I bought four of them and only one worked. They sent me new followers and springs and now three work. I was tired of taking them apart and test fitting for function so now one is still in parts. They are very thin walled to keep the weight similar to aluminum mags and allow the use of slightly longer bullets than will fit in any other magazine. The coating on them comes off with your finger nail. I guess buy one to try if you want to use heavy for caliber bullets like higher than 75 grain or so.

The magpul P Mags would be the better choice.

Agree, given a benchmark for Poly mags like Magpul, why buy others if the price is similar.

I hope that was with free shipping. Primary Arms has the same price including free shipping. Great place for decent optics, prices and selection.

The Magpul hands down..I run them in my Colt..I also have the 30 and 20 round Colt mags as well..But the Magpuls work flawlessly..
Most of the furniture on this Colt is Magpul..I also run the Pmags in my Sig 556 and once again they work flawlessly..

Do you mean the Tangodown Arc? I am not even sure Tapco makes an AR mag but if they do it is almost certainly a ***. The Tangodown Arc is a good mag equal to the P-Mag.

 

[ajpelz]

Pmags FTW

 

[Gunfighter9]

I run Magpul PMAGS. I love them. I wouldn't buy any other type now.
