Nice video Pyzik.

First Pyzik, great job with the video and review! Hope I can figure something out, when it comes time for me to do my review. I'm curious, though, how another brand would do under equally harsh conditions. 12 degrees F. and a full mag in a polymer mag. I'm guessing that other similar mags, weighted down with 30 rounds, dropped on concrete in "freezing your butt off" weather might perform the same. Guess we won't know, unless it's done. Anyway, excellent review.

Well, I did the exact same test with one of my Gen2 Pmag and same exact failure.

Pics and video forthcoming.

Wow, I was thinking of that exact same "match up" when I posted. Polymers get hard when it gets cold. Well most thin polymers, not all. Really not that bad though. I mean, let's say SE MI had some kind of apocalyptic economic break down, and everyone went bezerk, and you had to actually take to the field and defend yourself. Far fetched, I know, but follow me here. What's the chance your going to be dropping your loaded mags at sub-freezing temps, on hard concrete. Still far fetched, but feasible. I'm assuming, what ever anarchy has taken over due to your states meltdown, that you're going to be carrying at least 5 or 6 more mags, and when you dump them, they won't be full of ammo, and on hard concrete, unless your motor skills are just permanently FUBAR. I'm just making a W.A.G. here, but I think that under the circumstances, the cold, the concrete, full mags, and dropping them from 5 feet, that the same results could randomly happen with any polymer mag. Therefore, I'd reserve judgement on the MFT until other mags of similar composition were put through the same "torture" test.

Both the MFT and the Gen2 Pmag broke on the second drop.

try a Glock mag but make sure you use hazard suite

**FortTom** · 19 February 2015, 18:01

Kind of what I thought would happen. You have to admit, that's a tough test for a plastic mag, though. Good job.

I'll be hitting the range again and plan on seeing if it would still function in an emergency scenario, like if it were your last mag.

That should be interesting. I'd hate to be in that situation, but I'm curious about how that's going to work out. I think the magpul failure definetly vindicates your initial experience with the MFT drop test. This is turning out to be a lot more interesting than I thought possible with a magazine test. Can't wait to see the results.

As much as I am a fanboy of the P-Mags it looks like it cracked in a spot that was thicker plastic than the MFT. Will it even lock it the magwell?
