Please feel free to add your first impressions when you get them!
I don't think Gen2's for $24.99 is gouging at all, seeing as that was their regular price ($19.99 was a sale, long lasted at that). Especially considering how people were posting Pmags for close to 5x their price soon after all of this went down. Sure I would love to see Gen3's down to $20 with a free mag for every 10, but I don't think that will happen until the threats of a "gun grab" are gone...if the threat doesn't become reality
All my opinion of course...

Um, that was kind of intended as a joke by a few of us...
But yes, it's unrealistic to think that prices will remain the same indefinitely (especially in lieu of supply issues in the US).For well over a year though a certain dealer had a deal on six packs of PMags that worked out to $19.99 per mag. Despite having over 70 in inventory earlier available as singles, the six pack deal was nowhere to be found.
It could be a lot worse, granted. No, it's not really gouging, I was a bit harsh with a poor choice of words there. It's a sign though of what we can expect of pricing in the foreseeable future.
Will the normal Pmag Ranger Floor plates work with the Gen3's? Just wondering seeing as they redesigned the floor plate on the latest Gen.
I was kind of hoping that was the case, but you can never be quite sure these days!

From what I understand, yes - although I haven't taken one off to try. They should, though - because the width and dimensions of the PMAG M3 are essentially the same. I'll try a standard and ranger baseplate later just to confirm.

you have the mag and didnt even take your own pics, tysk
You know, I did - but the lightning was crappy and they turned out horrible. I'll take one shortly with the different baseplates to make up for it.

Yes, the D&H seem pretty decent for standard aluminum magazines. The prices is really hard to beat, too.

Good thing I checked... Neither the standard PMAG MOE baseplate or PMAG Ranger plate will work on the new PMAG M3 magazines. The new Magpul MagLink coupler does work, though (pictured on the MOE). This could be one reason why they're continuing to manufacture the PMAG MOE for the time being.
Here's the new PMAG M3 next to a pair of PMAG MOE magazines. These have been staggered for an AR15, and with the texture pads they have a fairly decent gripping surface as well.

Np. Believe it or not, the ranger plates are too narrow for the base on the new PMAG M3. I wonder if they'll make a new M3-specific version or ry to design one that works on both.

The ranger plates definitely won't work. At least not without taking a dremel to one, anyway. Yes, the original 'Magpuls' should work - it just might require a bit more elbow grease.
