Gun magazine maker who threatened to leave CO over magazine limits, now making smaller magazines [View all]

You can't make this up. Integrity!!

After several years stuck in development while we worked on the standard-capacity GEN M3 magazine technology, the PMAG 10 GEN M3 is finally shipping. MSRP $13.95


And their Facebook fans go wild!

Erik Stone That's not standard capacity. That's low-capacity.

Magpul Industries Corp. Poor copy reading. We have consistently referred to our 30 round products as standard, and all others as "reduced".


Ethan Lamb Put another way, you've made a magazine in compliance with the laws of the gun grabbers. Intentional or not, it sends the wrong message.


Magpul Industries Corp. If NY makes soda illegal should stores stop selling bottled water?


Bob Pratt I'd refuse to make them. You merely facilitate these politicians ambitions...


Pete Scalzo I dont think it's the concept of the 10rnd Mag that bothers people it's the timing. Especially since just a couple weeks ago Cuomo said he was rethinking their magazine ban because too few manufactures make 10rnd magazines. GUESS HE WONT BE RETHINKING IT NOW! It's good to have dIfferent capacity mags but still it's about timing Magpul could of probably waited a while with this until all the Magazine bills blow over. JUST SAYIN!


Ron Barthelt I have to agree. Wrong time to be bragging about your 10 round mags! Thats BS such a thing should even exist. I am not buying it and I don't know how many people would want it in my combat troop. Looks stupid in the gun. Yes hunting in the woods might use a mag like this but if you are going stand up and have a pair do it right and don't give the gun grabbers a clip they can say.... oh look Pmag has a new 10 round clip.... now you all can be happy with 10 rounds. Standard capacity is 30. Lets leave it at that.


Jake Bormann 30s only for this patriot


John Daniels Really bad timing, guys.


Tony Carotenuto 30 rds or nothing


RT Moore screw this BS. when did you decide to surrender?


Magpul Industries Corp. There appears to be continued confusion over the 10 round GEN M3, it's development, it's timing, and terminology. We talked about this when we first announced it back in January...we've been working on this magazine for over 2 years


Bobby Stamper Several years my ass... you guys just had your bluff called & you didn't hold to your word by moving out of Colorado and now you're conforming into making the 10 round state legal magazine you said you would never make... seriously how does nobody else see this? How would it take years to put a different sized spring in a smaller magazine with 20 less rounds to a Mag you already have perfected? Don't take us as fools...You guys talked big talk expecting a win but lost and now are doing nothing you promised. I for one find this very sheepish for a supposedly pro 2nd amendment company /:
