Pro Mag magazines

[Pale Rider]

What some people don't get is sometimes you end up with some of the magazines because they come with the deal when you buy a used gun. That's how I ended up with them on 2 different occasions. I worked on them and got them to work fine just because I like to tinker with things and see if I can make something work. I have quality magazines also, but I've used them when I go target shooting and they work fine. I wouldn't trust my life to them, but I'm not in a fight for my life; target shooting.

I can't count the number of times I've been at the range and someone had feeding problems. Many times it was a Pro Mag Mag magazine.

That's how I ended up with these promags. Got all excited when I saw 5 mags but outwardly they looked factory. Need to work more with these but I still don't have success

Has anyone here had good experience fixing ProMags? I've got 3 of them for a Sig, 2 are awful 1 is marginal. The problem is the follower gets hung up. When this happens, all the ammo just falls out the top when turned upside down or just doesn't feed in the gun. I tried using a stone on one of the followers to make it smoother in the body , but still it hangs up. The Sig mags made in Italy are 100% flawless, even though they look outwardly the same.
Any ideas?

If you are looking for SIG P320 mags, these guys do a pretty good job.

Wrong Cal. a P245 is .45 acp

The only reason to buy pro mag is for malfunction drills. Seriously. They suck. All of them.

This 1000%. I found a pro mag 40 several years ago during one of the school shootings and everything went nuts.

Used it once...malfunction after another.

If you need Sig mags check out Mec-Gar mags. They are an OEM manufacturer for Sig and the mags marketed under their brand name are the same as factory labeled Sig mags at half the cost. I probably only have 3-4 factory Sig mags and at least a dozen Mec-Gars. Never a problem with the Mec-Gars.
The guy is a good source. https://gregcotellc.com/cart/sig-sauer-magazines-c-123/?zenid=lnaker2hid0msu7nvp4sqk7g73

Mac-Gar makes the same exact Sig mag and stamps the Sig name on them instead.
They have contracts for other manufacturers too.
Love Greg Cote, very responsive and good pricing

I am not free from sin. I bought some for a 40 cal CZ. Unfortunately they worked great. That led to another purchase for a different gun. They did not work. Still had my doubts and bought some for yet another gun. They to were terrible. Got an extended 25+ mag with a used Beretta 92 purchase and it worked great the 2 times I used it. This is how they stay in business; cheap guys who want to believe in “a deal”

I can't see why everyone is down on Pro Mag.

After all, they're the only ones that sell a tool for practicing your immediate action handgun stoppage drills.

^^^ probably for mis-marking the packages as real mags...

I tried working with the promag yesterday and what I found wasn't so much the follower binding but rather the .45 cartridge was too big for the mag body and that would get hung. Since I can't widen the mag body, I think I'm stuck with a useless mag.

I tried some for my sig 232, they worked good with the ball ammo, not good with the hollow point. I bought a high point c-9 just because , the worst problem I had with it is terrible mags. Believe it or not the pro mags are better than stock. So there is that . BTW. I carry the 232 with stock mags, the high-point is a toy just to see what I can do to it.
