Ruger LCP and ProMag Issue

[russc2542]

It's amazing with all the complaints about promag that they are still in buisness.

New gun owners. They buy a gun, they see "ohhh cheap mags/extended mags" buy, then research. Or they research and say "well, they can't be THAT bad, maybe I'll get a good one". Then find out they're junk and it's not worth the expense of sending it back. Heck, I did it too with some 20rnd P14-45 mags.

Bingo...this right here!
I believe the photo next to the work 'Junk' in the dictionary is that of a ProMag magazine?
With Ruger, I'm an OEM magazine only person...for a reason!
Ruger OEM magazines are worth the $$!

Just a fyi, mecgar makes rugers mags (and cz, and sig, and beretta) I’ve never had any issues with mecgar, the only difference between ruger and mecgar is that mecgar stamps the “screaming chicken” on rugers mags!

I knew they made Beretta & Sig mags...was not aware that they made Ruger mags as well!
I learned something new today...I can go home now! Thank you!

PROMAGs are crap extreme.. please junk it immediately and purchase a proper magazine



Even IAN makes fun of them.

I was looking for a stainless Mini 14 mag, and found one online. Ended up being a ProMag, but seems to work well. The one for the LCP, I ended up sanding the bottom of the follower, so i could seat it with the mag full, but I will be a little more discerning with my mags going forward

I haven't watched that in a while. Worth a few minutes for anyone who hasn't yet. Or if you need to feel better about yourself.

Pro mag uses their similar name (PMag) to confuse newbies, I did have a pro mag for an M&P that actually worked well, but there are always exceptions….I steer customers to name brand mags, not pro mags..
