Whats NESs opinion on Hexmags?

[Dench]

I have a bunch. Only have used a few of them for super light use. No problems so far.

I've noticed they are still going super cheap at $9 a mag.... seems incredibly cheap...is there an issue?

 

[allen-1]

None that I’m aware of. I have a couple.

I have a bunch, used all of them with no issues. I consider them one time use magazines if you get my meaning so 9 bucks ain't bad.

I grabbed a couple. Haven’t had any issues with them personally. I have also lent them out to a friend and he didn’t have any issues with them either.

 

[Uzi2]

Have several, no issues with them.

If thats all you can afford, they're fine. Next question is are you just using them at the range, or are you putting them into a bugout bag? It depends on what you are going to use them for. I personally have a lot of magpuls. They're not that much more expensive.

I just use them for the range. I have plenty of pmags also.

if i might ask, what's wrong with the hexmag? the low price? they're made in some faraway place we don't like? what then? you guys didn't buy them off of wish.com, did you?

I prefer US-made Magpul, but have some 10-round Hexmags and they work fine.

For obvious reasons, it’s good practice to be able to immediately visually discern a 30-round mag (e.g Pmag) from a 10-round mag (e.g. Hex).

Not that I would ever have a need for such things in Massachusetts…

They're not battle proven like magpul. I'd certainly use them at the range, but would you trust your life to them?

ah, i see, yeah, i didn't think of that detail. thanks.

I remember when magpul came out. They were plastic so no one wanted them, they weren't going to last etc. Years later, the marines adopted magpul. Now they're regarded as some of the best out there.

And even Magpul has done improvements on their mags over the years.
