Right on, I don't think I've heard of those two brands, I'll check them out. Amend2 mags for $8, but pmags for $9.29; what's a dollar thirty when it could mean a major difference in your near future if being a tightwad leads to a mag failure right!Have a couple , mine have been fine
Don't know that I would have them as my shtf mags but if I found them cheap enough I'd probably get a few more for the range
Not polymer but I've scored pretty good deals on surefeed so that's my go to
Was snagging hera mags really cheap also so maybe check em out
Definitely, not a place to be cheap! I only own some of these others because I see them and decide that for some reason I have to try themRight on, I don't think I've heard of those two brands, I'll check them out.

THIS is exactly the real world experience I was looking for, thank you. I would say the reason Magpul has a gov't contract is they're older and established whereas Amendment 2 is newer, but that opinion is of no real consequence. I've heard elsewhere that in the realm of "which mag is best" Lancer gets the nod but I'm not looking for best, just cheapest that is constantly reliable. I probably have half a dozen different mag manufacturers but instead of trying out amend2 I'll just get more pmags. Yes, they were gen 2 no window, can't remember the website but it was a quick Google.Having used both, PMags are a bit better than Amendment 2.
Pmags are used by us armed forces, Amendment 2 are not to my knowledge.
One thing I had not considered about metal mags which for range use is not an issue but in a field environment could come up is that, as my Army veteran son pointed out, once you dent the metal mag body it becomes useless. Apparently it happened to him on multiple occasions and after switching to Pmags, no more issues.
I too have some Lancer mags and they are awesome. Feel so much more solid than pmags. I still love pmags, but if I see a deal on some lancers, I will pick some more up as well.I just recently got a few of the Lancer Hybrid mags, absolutely love the grip and stout feel of these mags.
They get good press on you tube for being reliable and dependable.
around 15 bucks online.
So far I got a 20 round and a 30 round to try out. Solid FDE on both.
I have tons of P-mags and have never had an issue but the Lancer mags just seem right.
The texture and grip are far and away better than Magpul !
