    Several years of range use - weekly 200 Rd Ave per week for 3 mags and they start failing to always lock back on empty some of the time. That's about what I've seen.

    Magpul is a hugely successful company because they know how to make a good product at a good price, and they don't sit on their hands. Every year they come out with good stuff and even though I am not interested in most of it, there are a few of their products that I own and am very happy with it. One thing I wish they would come out with is a version of the Sig brace but maybe they have realized that the ship may be sailing on that opportunity.

    They will sell thousands of these and make millions of dollars...and there will still be people that buy Glock mags by the truckload. Magpul doesn't really care, they will be making millions of dollars off of their version.

    Even if you buy 10 mags a year that's $100 a year you're saving, which is $8.34 a month.
    That's not exactly Trump money we're looking at.
    Just admit you're a Magpul groupie and stop blowing smoke with the cost savings BS.
    Let's say I buy 10 mags at $10 a pop. That is easily a $15 savings over OEM. So $250 right there. I am cheap, I support a family of four, and have two house payments.

    Insofar as the groupie thing, I like smart ideas. If a new gun owner can buy more cheap mags, I'm happy. I don't have much of a relationship with Magpul; I did once upon a time when they were courting my brother to run their long range training arm but not any more. I wouldn't consider myself any kind of a groupie except I do gush over them leaving Colorado, designing stuff in the US, and making it here.

    Otherwise, I don't understand the groupie thing but perhaps because I've posted two threads about Magpul's recent SHOT offerings. However, I'm used to gun forum assumptions and oddities. Oh well. I'll go change my title now

    I don't drink beer. As such, I see no need for beer. Thus, there should be no companies that make and sell beer.

    Since I don't want beer, no other person will want it either.
    I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

    Maybe if they made a 140mm and a 170mm magazine for USPSA I'd understand the hype.
    A few posts in the subject thread on M4c by Duane Liptak seem to imply that these will be forthcoming.

    Finally, something to drive Glock OEM magazine prices back down.
