[ugs_accessories category=”magazines”]FAQ: Magazines
What are the best AR-15 magazines?
Magpul PMAGs (Gen M3) are the industry standard for polymer magazines at $10 to $15 each. Lancer AWM hybrid magazines ($15 to $18) offer steel feed lips with a polymer body and a clear window. OKAY/Surefeed USGI aluminum magazines are another proven option. Buy at least 10 for any rifle you rely on.
Are aftermarket pistol magazines reliable?
OEM magazines are always the safest bet for reliability. ProMag and some other budget brands have mixed reputations. For critical use (carry, duty), always use OEM or premium aftermarket (like Magpul GL9 for Glock). For range use, budget magazines are generally fine.
What is a speed loader and do I need one?
A speed loader (like the MagLula UpLULA) makes loading magazines dramatically faster and easier on your thumbs. The UpLULA ($25 to $35) works on virtually all 9mm to .45 ACP pistol magazines. If you shoot regularly, it is one of the best small investments you can make.
