    Mags for SAF guns... any chance of getting metal mags in?

    Any chance you can get metal mags in for the SAF guns? I won't be able to shoot mine much longer, as all 4 of my mags are FUBAR'd to one degree or another. They haven't been abused, just in and out of the range bag, and used at the range for maybe 250 rounds each (I've got about a thousand rounds through the gun), and the feed lips on all of them are damaged to some extent. Obviously I don't want to buy more polymer mags (even if I could find them) just to have the same problem down the road. Thanks in advance!

    Edited to add: would metal Taurus MT-9 mags be compatible with the SAF, if they would be easier to find for import?

    +1 on this. My mags are in slightly better shape but it would be a dream come true for metal!

    Yeah, it's certainly not a very good polymer. I suspect these mags are kind of like the old C7 Thermolds... best to be used and thrown away. Which would be ok if they were cheap and plentiful, as opposed to expensive and rare! The gun is awesome, but the mags are the weak point. It's gonna suck eventually having a $2000 gun I won't be able to use!

    I remember them saying that the mags were new and improved. This is the same problem as before with these mags.

    I'd love a saf. The mags are a turn off though, more so than the price. Maybe that other forum sponsor involved in after market mag production could be of help. Something in metal perhaps.

    To be honest we've only had to replace 3 or 4 mags out of the entire batch we brought in. Not sure why all of yours have been damaged.

    They apparently don't produce the polymer mags anymore. Only metal magazines. Price for the metal ones has jumped significantly, retail will be $99.

    Personally I would be happy to get them at that price!

    Listen, and understand. That Liberal is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse- only fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your guns are gone.

    Use them to any extent and they all end up like this. I started with 10 mags when I got my SAF years ago. Down to 4 useable ones now. I think the only crappier polymer mags made than the OEM FAMAE ones were the disposable Orlite mags we had in the CF.

    Bring on the metal mags.
