Opinions On Quality Of ProMag Magazines For P-10C?
« on: October 14, 2021, 02:00:08 PM »
Anyone have any experience with Pro-Mag magazines?  I'm having trouble finding
magazines for the P-10C and found some in stock.

PROMAG=JUNK It's that simple. They are garbage for any gun. Yes sometimes they work and if you really must have some extras at this point go for it but keep in mind they are exceedingly poor quality and I would only use them for range practice. I would not bet my life on a PROMAG.

As others have said: stay away from Promag!  Mecgar, if you can find them, are excellent.

Friends don't let friends buy ProMags.

Said this before, I have a relative that buys promags.  Every so often I get a phone call telling me he needs some help.  Got a couple new mags and I'm having jamming problems.  We get out the files, the pliers, etc. and we massage, smooth, tweak, etc. and sometimes get them feeding good enough to suit him.

Sometimes we never get one of them working right.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

promags are perfect if you are planning to load them with Lester's Ammunition

Well, I guess I won't be buying Promags.  I checked Greg Cote first: I always buy magazines from them but they're
out of stock.  CZ Custom, Mag-Shack and Gun-Mag-Warehouse were also out of stock.  Cheaper Than Dirt and
Grab-A-Gun carry Promags, though I had to ask customer service at Grab-A-Gun: their website made it seem
like they were factory mags. 

Thanks for the unanimous vote: makes it an easy decision.

If you haven't already done so get on the email list at Greg Cote. He seems to get things in pretty regularly. Hopefully you can snag some when he does.

Which Gen of P10c? There is a listing for the older (ambi mag release) for sale in the classifieds.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've already done that, as well as one other place.  I think I'll start hitting the local
gun stores as well.

I have no trouble with used stuff, but these mags are actually birthday presents for my son, so I'm going to
try and find new parts.  Thanks for the suggestion though.  His pistol is an optic ready model he bought this
year.

I've been looking at picking up a P-09 / P-10F sized magazine for the past couple of months, for home defense purposes, but they are out of stock everywhere. 

There are, however, these ProMag magazines available.

I have to agree with what everyone else here has posted.  Personally I wouldn't buy one for anything other than possible range use.  The prevailing opinions seems to be that all the magazines they sell are unreliable trash. 

I only own one ProMag magazine and that's a 20-round mag for my Ruger Mini-14.  I have three rock-solid factory 20-rounders that I keep clean, rust-protected, and loaded with Gold Dot .223 for home defense purposes.  So I wanted to get a cheap range mag to use for range trips.  The ProMag, when new, was borderline useless.  It would constantly hang up, especially with a fully loaded mag.  The rounds feel too tight to come out reliably.  I tried leaving it loaded to weaken the spring tension but it didn't help.  I replaced their crappy follower with a Ruger factory polymer follower and now the mag will feed correctly, but it doesn't lock back on empty.  Their follower has this extra large spike on top to facilitate lock-back, that the factory follower doesn't need when being run in a factory mag.  Basically their mags are out of spec and using the factory follower is a band-aid for the feeding issue.  I can live with that at the range but I'd never buy another ProMag magazine if I had any other choice.

If Mec-Gar would sell their own P series branded mags like they do for CZ75 they would probably be good quality, just like the P series mags they manufacture for CZ, but it's my understanding they can't or won't do that because of their arrangement with CZ.
