C-Products has been a no-go for a long time.

Sorry Rob, I'm not current on all the go and no go; I'm no operator.

I made the mistake of buying a couple of C-Products mags during the panic. They flat out don't work. Maybe they've gotten better?

No reason to touch those when you can buy NHMTG.

I think most of my metal mags are NHMTG and D&H.

Anyone beside me using mainly metal mags vs PMags?

I only use PMags. But thats only because I can't stipple metal mags. (And still have them function anyway)

CP folded a few years ago with much drama, to later come back as CP Defense. The original CP SS mags I had ran great and were stout. Their chrome silicon springs rusted out and they went through all kinds of reliability issues within their product line. Customer service was inconsistent. With proven aluminum mags running about $10 each, I'll pass.

Me :) I prefer the NHMTG 20 rounders, but occasionally use 30s when I want to monopod off them.

If "operator" means "guy who actually shoots his gun", then yes, I are one.

If you're going to shoot metal mags, and metal mags are all I shoot, NHMTG is the only way to fly.

I have a whole system for them. Green Ranger plates are loaded with steel cased, tan ranger plates are loaded with brass-cased, black Ranger plates are loaded with ninja bullets. All get yellow Magpul followers. I keep 10 tan and 10 green loaded, each in a nylon mag purse that I can grab and take to the range. I keep 20 of each loaded in ammo cans, with four black in each can as well. Those are for taking to training classes. Black mags are for whatever zeroing we do, the others are for blasting. Ensures I never have to jam a mag until I get back to the hotel.

Then I have another 10 mags that stay unloaded for stages that require a downloaded mag to start. Those get no Ranger and no Magpul follower (a) to make them easy to identify and (b) because they are the most likely to get lost.

So I have thirty mags loaded with brass, 30 mags loaded with steel, and 10 mags loaded with ninja bullets. The extra two that aren't in an ammo can are on my ninja rifle, one in the well and one in the Redimag.

I really hate spending range time jamming mags...

But I don't use Pmags, and I don't use crap-products.

Educate me, what's wrong with PMAGS?

Same here. I would like some education on this as well.

The new C-Products Defense mags are great. I bought a ton of them before the CO magazine ban and they work extremely well. I have some of their older mags and they work fine too. Just my $.02 ...

Pmags, for me, turned out to be an unintentional change. I just woke up one day and had 50 of them, after having only ever bought 12. Once I realized this, I started to ask myself why I was using them, and why I wasn't using GI mags. I couldn't come up with a reason that was pro-Pmag for my uses so I went back to the solution that worked best for me.

so Pmags, for me, are just a choice.

C-Products, on the other hand, are garbage made by incompetents. Besides my own failures I've seen too many failures with other people to ever trust anything with that name, or any variation on that name.

Lancer. My new favorite. Not a fan of the Gen 3 Pmags. The feed lips drug on the bottom of my bolt carrier. Sold them all and bought Lancer mags. Haven't looked back.
