Promags new 9-22 (Ruger) mag review.

[Bonjour43ma]

I have no issues loading 26 rounds into my gen 1 mag. The last 3 or 4 rounds get a little tougher but they all fit and feed fine. I only load to 25 now, though, and usually lock the bolt first before inserting the mag. Zero issues so far after 400 rounds.

Will wait for my gen 2 mags to come in and see if they make things better/worse/same.

If they work with 23rds, break in will prob be needed to feed the full 25rds.

I get it, thanks!

Most people are willing to sacrifice a few rounds for the great look of the new mag, as long as they feed properly.

Yeah as I am as well, just new to aftermarket stuff, and just wanted to get clarification, will be watching for more reviews for sure. I realize the factory 10 shot are reliable, but who wants only 10 shots?!

These seem to be loosening up as they are being used, insert in an open bolt if you load them fully at first. Give us your feedback!

Thanks Dave! Just got the mag today. Here's some photos for Gen 1 (left) vs. Gen 2 (right):

Back of mags seem identical


New front steel pin feels solid


You can see the difference here with the revised feed-control spring


Here's another difference, the new steel front pin sticks out more, and seems to lock the mag into the receiver much better


Mag's seating positing seems good, identical to my Gen 1 mag


Overall the Gen 2 mags seem to fit a little tighter into the receiver, but otherwise identical to Gen 1. I've had good experience with Gen 1 mags so far and I expect the same from these new Gen 2s. Also, the materials used on these Gen 2 mags look a little different... maybe something to do with the molding process, no idea. The texture looks a little different for sure.

Will update with some range reports this weekend!

We have shipped lots of these mags out now, lets see some range report from everyone!

Im just chiming in again, wondering if any sr22 owners that have bought these mags, got the mags to fit with a extended mag release lever (proper term?) and if so, what brand of mag release?

Ive seen in another thread where a guy has shown that he cant get the .223 looking mag to fit, but cant seem to find if anyone did yet, or how they did.

We have done it on the SR22 & the Archangel kits, they look great . We have the extended mag releases also, you need to use them.





9mm version, with the cover removed.

Excellent hical, you have been super helpful, those rifles look great!

I hope to be able to test mine tomorrow. It didn't show up until today (FedEx ), and there was no way for me to get to the range today.

My Archangel looks more at home with the AR now!
