Well said. Plus, like you mentioned about WC or Mec-Gar, it's not like the gun manufacturers are cranking tons of mags out, so why not just have them handle it? 👍👍
I partially agree in this subject. I think that two magazines should be included in each new firearm. However, some all polymer magazines are better than others. I have a dozen of the all polymer magazines for my Pioneer Arms sporter and i haven't had any issues with the feed lips or any part of the magazine. However, the Kel Tec P17 magazines are complete trash in my opinion.
I have two SGMtactical mags coming and was worrying about the quality. Now I am worrying more. Ruger LC comes with one, so knock on wood. I try to buy when shops have rep events. Sigs from events usually come with three. Last two came with coupons for four free after purchase. Mag prices have become absurd.
I agree with you, especially with a 1911 platform that is already rounds limited. I feel that a 1911 should come with 3 magazines. Guns like Beretta, Glock, etc. should come with at least 2.
Lots of truth regarding the mags. Have two Para-Ordnance 1911's ( 38 Super & 45 ACP) and each came with two mags. One of the mags for each pistol were simply not reliable. So mostly now for the 1911's it's either Colt or Mec-Gar. Same with the Hi-Powers. Factory FN or the Mec-Gar mags. And you are correct as to the Mec-Gar mags not being that expensive. Steel AK mags are good and can still find them on sale at reasonable prices. For the AR's I really like the aluminum Okay and D&H mags. Never any issues with them ever. You make a really good point about how critical a good magazine is regarding firearm function. Nice video Matt!
I bought some plastic mags for my FAL and they're junk. I just use old metal mil surp mags and they work fine. I pick them up at gun shows or online when I can find them.
Matt, off topic, but have you ever thought of doing occasional reviews of unusual guns that might come into your orbit,? Oddballs like the squeeze-cocking HK P7 and Stoeger .22 "Luger," junky guns like the old Jennings and other Ring-of-Fires, the old high-quality Dan Wessons with quick-change barrels, historical stuff like the Nambu, old exotics like the Beretta Pico (I think was the name) and M20? Might be interesting now and then.
I had an occasional problem with mags that came with my Springfield Mil Spec, usually FTF last round. Substituted Tripps Research springs and their double-springy followers. Upside: problems gone. Downside: help needed from Mr. Universe to load all seven rounds and push the mags into position.
I was going to bust on you big time for mentioning Kimber in the same sentence with the greatest ever, COLT. However, since it is sentimental because your wife bought it for you as a gift, I interceded and was able to give you a pass. Be warned, however, the cult of Colt is watching you, and we will show no mercy next time!!!! You have been warned!
Preach brother!!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great idea, include a surplus mag!!

Thanks big Mike. 🤠

Could always be a Bren 10 and get no magazines with the pistol LOL. Companies should have min of three magazines for handguns and two for rifles.
Agreed 👍🏻

I would love to. But I don’t have access to those guns. If I did I would definitely do it. 🤠
