CBR Shadow 53 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'm looking to get a few larger mags that what I currently have (only have the stock 5 rnder). I'm wondering which brand is known for being most reliable.. I see AGP & Surefire both offer mags. I was going to get a big MD-20 but I'll wait on that for now I think. So my question is which is the best 8-12 rounder and where should I buy them (best price?)? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yooper14.5 84 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Surefires recommend not using magnum rounds in their magazines, whereas AGP magazines can handle magnums. Id go with AGP. AGP's are also cheaper. Edited July 6, 2011 by yooper14.5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poptart 3 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 i've got 4 agps with no complaints Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxxpez 5 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'm not positive but surefire says no magnums in the 12 rounder because it is so long. I have several high brass rounds through my 8 rounder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
menace667 194 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I have 2 Surefire 10 round sticks and theyre awesome, but the 12 round mags are way too freaking long for use. I have ran 00 buck and 1500fps slugs from mine with no issues, so I dont think you gotta worry about that too much. Also unless you are a money bags running a ton of high brass through them will be more of a passing thought than a reality. SGM lock up tight, will load on a closed both thats been modded nicely, and hold plenty of bang for your buck. My $.02 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EthanM 514 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I have 5 Surefire mags and love them. I normally shoot birdshot but I have shot several magnum rounds through it without a single problem. I actually plan on buying a few 8 round surefire mags. Eitherway you go, I'm sure both surefire and AGP will be good. IMO Also I purchase all my stuff from Carolina Shooters Supply. They have really good prices, amazingly fast shipping, and great customer service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BpS12 512 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I've got 6 AGP 10rounders and 2 Surefire 10s which I cut down to 8s. The Surefires are a bit longer than the AGPs, the ribbing caught on my mag pouches and the floor plate is protrusive. The AGPs are a decent length, the ribbing is minimal but plentiful(for gripping) and the bottom forms a nice swell around the floorplate rather than the blockish plate on the Surefires. Oh, and I nipped the ribbing off of the Surefires and sanded them down a bit, will wrap in grip tape eventually. Both perform well, no problems. Personally. I'd go for the AGP 10's. If you want more rounds, go for the 12 or 20 round drums. Anything more in a stick is bound to get in the way. Just saying..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chaseface 41 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I have 10rd AGP's and 10rd Promag drums and haven't had any issues with either, and would recommend both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grommit666 24 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 For 10-rounders, I've only used the AGP but I've had no trouble at all with them. It's hard to complain about 100% performance. I have some smaller Surefire mags and I find the bulky floor plate annoying. If I were to buy more sticks, they would be AGP at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
