So I got my hands on a GMAG, thank to my bud Carlos.
For those who havent heard of the GMag yet,
it is a direct copy of the Pmag, licensed from Magpul.
It does not have the same polymermix as the original Magpul products.
They are made in the EU, not the US.

When he gave it to me, I didnt know it was a Gmag, so while I was using it, I didn't feel any difference between my Pmags and the Gmag. It was after the range, he actually pointed it out and asked me "how did you like the gmag?"
Only then did I realize I hadn't used all Pmags...so much for a first impression.
It fed well in a SD XR 15 M5, and showed no malfunctions.

On closer inspection this morning my subjective thoughts are:


-the Gmag feels a tiny bit more "plastic"
-the mold seems to be "sharper", if you look at the pics, you'll hopefully see what I mean. The corners aren't that round and more articulated
-it's smoother, and not as textured ( I don't have any Rev M Pmags to compare to, only the "older" Pmags)
-same weight
-the follower isn't as smooth and "teflonized" as the original, and when putting the mag together you notice that it doesn't slide as smooth as the orig. Yet when loading a mag and firing, I had no problem.
-spring is shorter but feels the same when pushing down the follower
-overall it seems a tiny bit thinner ( subjective; I havent measured it)
- but it seems to have the same sturdyness and stability ( though I havent torturetested it)
