You dropped the money on an MR920 and don't understand the phrase "sample size of one"? Lol wut

I didn’t, I shot a friends gun.

I’m not dumb enough to trust 3rd party shit without trying it.

Then why even argue, you’ve got no skin in the game.

Alright, 1911 users. What are you go to mags? I'm sick of seeing people arguing on forum threads from 2005. I see Chip McCormick and Wilson Combat 7 rounders go for about the same price $25. I've seen enough people have rapid spring wear with 8 round Wilson 47Ds that I'm sort of shying away from them. I saw one boomer complaining Wilson combat mags "don't have the dimple" but otherwise people seem to like them a lot. I know mecgar is also pretty good for the money, their comp mags are like $20.

Mec-Gar. Paul Harrell swore by them.

But you do come to quick conclusions about a product based on a single experience with a friend's Gucci Glock clone.

I hate it when people post stupid shit about guns. I know what you said is stupid but others coming to this thread for quality information might not.

Commercially, they'll axe any model that isn't the m17 or m18; at least that's how I see it.

I hope so. I liked the M17, besides the weird safety/slide release ergonomics, it felt like a much better gun than the P320 in the times I’ve shot it.

Even before the safety thing, the p320 is just extremely mediocre.

Remember these aussie faggots who punked brandon herrara by doing a video with him but being faggots about it? They just released another video about guns. It's probably gay and retarded idk i haven't watched it.

It's so weird seeing parts of Youtube I never touch. Just the thumbnail and title are enough for me to not touch this garbage, even if I didn't know these guys are dishonest, malicious cunts.

Buy one of each brand, see what works. Ed Brown, Chip McCormick, Wilson Combat, MecGar, Colt(the old ones, and don't overpay), Milsurp and maybe give Sarco's in-house magazines a try with how cheap they are. Kimber, Triple-K and Pro Mag are not worth buying.
I personally don't care for Wilson 8 round mags, they're extra strength to either facilitate +P usage or prevent dropping the slide on an empty chamber.

It does amaze me that Pro-Mag has been able to successfully make bad magazines for so many platforms for so long and still remain in business.

When I watched Ian's "Worst AK I've ever seen" video, the fact that it came with a ProMag cracked me up. It was the perfect dingleberry topping on top of all the other shit wrong with it.

Click to expand...
as mentioned, the 7 and 8 round CMC and Wilson mags are top end, the dimple is a hold over from Browning/Colt since it reduces friction when feeding, helps hold the last round of the mag in place under recoil, and more importantly in a "mil-spec" pistol allows the cartridge to tilt up with the feedlip when feeding, and tilt down to hit the feed ramp on the frame before entering the chamber; but any chromed follower will work for this just fine if they have the right angle on the lips and follower.

other 1911 mags i've used with great purpose for carry and sport have been original 7 round Colts, ACT magazines, Mec-Gar stainless and blued both, Ed Brown is decent but i've never tried their commander sized mags or taken them as a carry mag, just at the bench and as a hunting carry. i've also had good experience with Metalform though i don't buy them regularly. Kimber is hit or miss unless you use the recommended ammo. the rest i've had and tried and they work. the Checkmate mags i was issued in the military also worked very good.

the key is working with the 1911's feed ramp or skipping it entirely. the 1911 is a controlled feed action where there are multiple contact points for the cartridge to be guided into the chamber on every cycle and any mag that has weird feed lips or is too low/tall or has a weird follower can skip portions of the controlled feed. some 1911 pistols also modify the controlled feed by messing with the ejector position or using a clark barrel or nowlin or something. know your pistol's feed geometry and choose a mag compatible with it. if you have a typical "mil-spec" 1911 or 1911A1 then stick with typical 1911 mags and their clones.

38 super and 9mm mags have a bit of a different story on what to look for, and 10mm mags are their own issue. also any "mil-spec" 1911 should be bullet design independent - JSP, flat nose, round nose, HP, et c should all feed just fine as long as the OAL is in spec.

re: Magpul Glock mags
i've used them on factory Glocks (including a Glock 18 ) and some polymer 18 builds without any real issue, however they were inconsistently drop free. didn't see much of a point over just using normal Glock mags considering Glock mags are so cheap in bulk.

Shot a Shadow Systems MR920 recently.
The MR920 worked fine with factory Glock mags. Despite its gaudy appearance, the gun was unremarkable.


But Holy shit, those Magpul Glock mags are terrible. The gun couldn’t fire a single round without stovepiping or double feeding.

Fucking scary as shit. Someone has bet their life on those mags.

Yeah, I have a MR920 FS, it came with one of the Magpul mags. Barely works in the MR920 but it does work a lot better in my regular Gen5 Glock19. I also ran into the same stovepiping issue while I was demoing a regular MR920. The Magpul Glock mags are known for being pretty bad but something about the SS guns really just don't like them.

Speaking of the SS guns, I do like them on paper, but I ran into enough minor problems that irked me enough to go back to a true Glock. The optics cut on the SS guns is fantastic, and Glock themselves really should make something like it that isn't complete shit like the MOS system.

I understand why Glock went with a plate based system, because the screw channels for several optic cuts would impinge on the extractor channel. The trick SS did was to just shorten the extractor plunger so that the screw and plunger dont interact. I really hope with a potential Gen6 Glock that they just bite the bullet and do a similar redesign. The COA is a step in the right direction, but with that you're limited to a single optic choice. And while Aimpoint generally has a good reputation, their pistol dots like the ACRO have been big failures.

what fucking baffles me to this day is how my promag drum runs without flaw in my chinese ass saiga clone and i'm not fully convinced that there isn't some sort of chaos daemon in there doing all the heavy lifting
