Promag S&W 40 S&W 50-Round Drum Magazine Review
As a firearms enthusiast, I was thrilled to get my hands on the Promag S&W 40 S&W 50-Round Drum Magazine from Gunmag Warehouse. With its impressive 50-round capacity, I was eager to put it through its paces and see how it performed. In this review, I’ll share my experience with this product, highlighting its pros and cons, and provide an honest assessment of its effectiveness.
Unboxing and Initial Impressions
Upon opening the package, I was struck by the ruggedness and sturdiness of the magazine. The drum-style design is solid and well-built, with a smooth, matte finish that resists fingerprints. The Magazine is identical in dimensions to the original factory magazine, ensuring a seamless fit and drop-in replacement.
Handling and Functionality
I loaded the magazine with a mix of 40 S&W chambered ammunition, both FMJ and JHP, and took it to the range. Initially, I noticed a slight bit of feedlip and a few rounds nosed through the ejection port, which was a minor issue, but easily resolved by simply grasping the magazine firmly and working out any stuck rounds. After that, it functioned without a hitch, with all rounds loading and ejecting cleanly.
Pros:
• Increased Capacity: The 50-round capacity is a game-changer for those who need extended firepower in their S&W 40 S&W pistols.
• Reliability: Once overcome the initial initial feedlip issue, the magazine performed flawlessly, with no failures to feed, extract, or eject.
• Durability: The rugged construction and smooth finish make it an excellent addition to any firearm.
• Compatibility: The magazine is designed to fit and function with existing S&W 40 S&W pistols, ensuring seamless integration.
Cons:
• Initial Feeding Issues: Some minor adjustment was needed to get the magazine running smoothly, as mentioned earlier.
• Weight: Due to its larger size and capacity, the magazine can make the pistol feel a bit heavier, but this may not be a significant concern for most users.
• Price: While the cost is competitive, some might find it a bit steep for an aftermarket accessory, particularly for those on a limited budget.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Promag S&W 40 S&W 50-Round Drum Magazine is an outstanding addition to any S&W 40 S&W pistol owner’s arsenal. While there may be some initial adjustment required, the benefits are undeniable. Increased capacity, reliability, and durability make this magazine a must-have for those seeking added firepower. If you’re willing to invest in a high-quality aftermarket accessory, I highly recommend considering the Promag S&W 40 S&W 50-Round Drum Magazine.
