I have many Hexmags. Never an issue. I also got mine from Wise Tactical.

Another note, not on the magazines but Wise Tactical. My magazines are already waiting at my PO box.
Their shipping is pretty quick. I got an order update within an hour of paying to state that my order was already shipped.

Nice review. I've contemplated picking up some Hexmags because the reviews are good, but like Steve said, the lack of stripper clip guide compatibility is a deal-breaker.

Can anyone provide feedback on the Hexmag fit in a USGI double-mag pouch? PMAGs are super tight, and that texture on the Hexmags looks like it would only exacerbate the problem.

They're a little slimmer than Pmags. Should fit fine.

Good to know, thanks. Maybe I'll try a couple. Hell, I might even be able to cut my own stripper clip guide slots into the body.

That is good news. I also figured that the raised pattern would eliminate surface area and friction, making it easier to slide one mag in after the other in a tight pouch.

Do you feel you'll have more hexmags than pmags for your collection, or just get whatever you can find on sale. Sounds like you prefer hex slightly, but not by much


I have personally had a few issues with MagPul from a year or so back when I had to deal with their customer service department.
So, I do not really want to patronize their products, but in some cases they are the best out there.
So, I hold my nose and buy something from them.
In a few ways MagPul has been resting on their Pmag design with only slight changes from one generation to the next.
None of which are really anything more than cosmetic.
Competition is a good thing.
Companies like Lancer and others have stepped up their game to compete with MagPul and I like that.
If MagPul doesn't respond to those companies who put pressure on them to remain competitive then they loose ground.
Hexmag, for me, is a slightly superior product. At least at this point in time.
For me, there are a few little things Hexmag does which is an improvement over the Pmag.
But, in all honesty, the difference between the two is minimal as both magazines function reliably.
However, that said; I have 36 Lancer magazines, soon to be 22 Hexmags, and only a handful of Pmags.
Not to mention, saving a buck a mag (or more in some cases) when ordering 20 or 40, as I sometimes do, adds up.
So, take it for what it's worth.



ETA:
Basically, what I am saying is that if you have a lot of Pmags already, it isn't worth it to ditch them for the Hexmag.
Though, I know a few people who have done just that.
However, as I said, both are reliable and do the job.


thank you
