Also it's a pain in the *** to load them with stripper clips and sometimes when loading with them the nose of the bullet will end up on one side of the center rib and the body on the other resulting in a type 3 stoppage.

Don't get me wrong, I like them and use them but it's still plastic. If you drop your mags free at the range when reloading it can get costly.

Those ranger plates would probably be a good investment, then.

It'd be nice just to have atleast 2 of them, I think I would rather stick with normal magazines, being that Im use to using them. But nonetheless, they still look badass.

I use the Butler Creek StripLuLA, it's awesome. I buy my Federal ammo on clips, and it's so quick and easy.

Magazines are disposable items. Pmags might crack, USGI mags get dented or the feed lips get bent. Whatever, Pmags are a significant improvement in magazines and at $15 a great bargain $$/performance, but like any other magazine, they can break if abused ...in which case throw them away. Generally speaking, a Pmag will be more reliable and more resistant to breakage than a USGI mag.

As to strippers, get a StripLula. You'll never **** around with a USGI stripper clip guide again. It's a great device. I use it with stripper clips all the time if I'm in a hurry. I buy stripper clips in bulk off ebay and load them up while watching TV or a bad movie.

Double feeds? Never had that happen with a Pmag, but you have to tap the backside to slide all the cartridges back, just like on a USGI mag.

I've been looking at those for a while. I'll order one this weekend. Which Carbine Course are you taking? I'm taking Kyle Defoor's 2 Day Advanced Carbine in Moyock, NC in November.

Jeff Gonzales' Combative Carbine II Oct 4-5-6. Looking forward to it.
