Product Review
Introduction
As a seasoned shooter, I was excited to get my hands on the Legacy Sports International Boss 25, a 10-round magazine designed for the 12-gauge. With its impressive capacity and reputation for reliability, I was eager to put it through its paces and see how it performed in the field. In this review, I’ll share my experience with the product, highlighting its pros and cons, and whether it lives up to its promising specs.
Design and Build Quality
The first thing that caught my attention was the magazine’s sleek and durable design. Made from high-quality materials, it exudes a sense of robustness and sturdiness. The magazine’s body is made of a lightweight polymer, which provides a comfortable grip and easy handling. The feeding lips are perfectly aligned, and the magazine’s geometry is designed to ensure smooth feeding and ejection.
Feed-and-Eject Performance
I was impressed with the Boss 25’s feed-and-eject performance. I loaded it with a variety of shell sizes and types, and the magazine performed flawlessly, feeding smoothly and ejecting with ease. The magazine’s anti-tilt follower ensures that the shells move smoothly along the rails, preventing jamming and misfeeds.
Capacity and Reliability
The Boss 25 offers an impressive 10-round capacity, which is ideal for hunting, competition, and home defense. I was concerned about the magazine’s ability to function reliably with this many shells, but it proved to be up to the task. In my tests, the magazine functioned without a hitch, feeding and ejecting consistently, even with different shell sizes and types.
Handling and Compatibility
The magazine is designed to be compatible with a wide range of 12-gauge shotguns, including the Remington 870, Mossberg 500, and Winchester 1300. I tested the magazine on a Remington 870 and it fit and functioned perfectly, with no issues.

Here are the key pros and cons of the Legacy Sports International Boss 25:
