New PMAG vs Old PMAG

[TripleDigitRide]

I guess this will add to the delay on getting those already hard to get (at realistic prices) PMAGS. Not sure how long this change will take, but it can't help things move any faster.

This was taken from Sig Forum.

There are a bunch of threads on other boards talking about the differences between the "M" PMAG, and the original version. I don't look at there being a large difference between them in term of actual functionality, but a few differences were done in the new molds.

The below images should show you how to quickly tell what you are looking at.

First, here is a picture showing the different PMAGs. Starting from the far left, we have the old PMAG, the windowed PMAG, new "M" PMAG, EMAG (export mag), and 20 round PMAG.

There is too much info to bring over, so feel free to check it out HERE. You can see more differences between the two.

Unless you buy a used PMAG you are going to get the "M" PMAG. It may have slowed down production while they were changing equipment around for the new mag, but they are done with that now and I wouldn't think it would add any further delay.

I bought 2 PMAGS from Palmetto State Armory a couple of weeks ago and they are the "M" version. I have never owned any of the old ones so I can't compare the two of them, but the ones I have function perfectly in my M&P.
