Title: They're Acting Like These Things Were Introduced Yesterday
Post by: billt on January 13, 2017, 05:48:04 AM
"Groundbreaking".... "Unstoppable".... "New". Come on. P-Mags have been around for a decade. Since 2007 I believe. The Marines even banned them once. Now they're acting like they just found out about them yesterday, and there's simply nothing like them . This just shows how the media in this country can't get a story right on a bet.

These things have been out there forever. Anyone who knows which end of an AR the bullet comes out of has seen them, and probably owns several. The average person sees this, and right away buys into it as some great "new" breakthrough. Common sense dictates that anything that is already on it's third generation isn't "new". Mag-Pul has got to be eating this up with a spoon!

They are also made in the USA.

"probably owns several"


Um, yeah, that's all that I own, "several" . . . . .

I particularly like the humor flowing on the FB page for the 300 Blackout, where one guy in particular wrote a wonderfully tongue-in-cheek note to thank all who had posted about 500 messages concerning Magpul's plans to release a 300 Blackout-specific magazine that may, or may not - YMMV - correct some sort of feeding problem with that round.

I'm pretty sure Pro-Mag was the one I bought for my Para P10.45 that was such a piece of junk that I smashed it with a hammer and threw it away.
