Promags new 9-22 (Ruger) mag review.

[hical.ca]

Well they are finally here, these are the new Gen 2 versions with the steel front pin. They are suppose to take out the slack associated with the earlier versions & make feeding more reliable

They have also shortened & dropped down the feed control spring, no more thumb shredding! the feed lips are still replacable.

They come with or without the "223" outer shell.

They sure look a lot better than the banana style mags we have been using.
Let me know what you think!

let us know how these ones work. I would like one but im not impressed with the 1st edition so I will wait for reviews. They look better made tho

 

[TFunfer]

Are they the same price with or without the .223 shell?

 

[TFunfer]

Are they the same price with or without the .223 shell?

I found it on your website. I see the mags with the .223 shell are $5 more. I thought the mags with the .223 shell being the same price would be too good to be true

Dave...my credit card is out and i will be calling u

I'm looking forward to some range reports on those mags.

These work in standard 10/22 and SR22, correct?

 

[Hodaka]

NM, found the answer, order placed (I have an aftermarket mag release).

Yes, the one without the shell will work in any 10/22, some will work with the shell on, the shell is easily removed, for the $5 more, you can try the shell, even if you have to modify or use it on a project!

We will be testing these fully, very soon. Promag has assured us all the previous problems have been resolved. We are waiting on a mag loader to be completed as well for the near future. These mags will become the new standard for 10/22s!

1 with shell ordered. I have a SR22 (factory release) and a 10/22 (aftermarket release).
As soon as the mag shows up, I'll head to the indoor range (~6 blocks from work), and see how it goes. Just have to remember to throw all my .22 stuff back in the car after the weekend.

Got these to the range this afternoon to test the new 9-22 mags, a rough job, but someone needed to do it, 4 random mags, 300 rounds. I had a few ammo related duds & a few failing to feed from a full mag, i realized they were denting the cases trying to get the full 25 rds in. They are hard to load 25 rds & i went with 23 instead & they ran 100%!! Used 525 bulk pak, Blazers & american eagle, all functioning perfectly. Promag nailed it this time, unlike some of their prior mags....

 

[TFunfer]

Sounds good.

I've yet to get out and shoot my Marauder, hopefully I don't have the same mag issues others have had. Looks like I will have to pick up a few of these newer mags in the near future.

Dave... dont give me false hope here buddy.

Although It looks like I will most likely be going with this kind of mag if it gets lots more positive reviews (providing there is a mag loader for it for sale one day) Im curious on how promag nailed it, if the magazine doesnt reliablely go through 25 rounds, which is what they are advertised to do? I would think that a 25 round mag, that only works well with 23 rounds, is a mag that does not work well. And you said the case gets dented...?

Im new to these aftermarket mags, so I was just hoping to get clarification please as it sorta sounds like you said they both work good, and dont work good! Thanks.

 

[lone-wolf]

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

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

My thoughts as well, We have sent out lots of mags already so you will be seeing a lot of feedback on these mags very soon.

Im just giving my experience with some brand new mags, if you want the most reliable mags, go with the Ruger 10 rd rotary mags, $18 on the webstore. Most people are willing to sacrifice a few rounds for the great look of the new mag, as long as they feed properly.

 

[Innercity]

So the -22 means they are 22 round mags? what does the 9 mean?

 

[hical.ca]

9-22 = 9mm look, .22 cal.
