I am not a Pmag (or any other polymer mag) fan. David Fortier published a great test article on AR mags in Nov 2009 in Shotgun news.
There is writeup here: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2009...tgun-news/
I'll see if David will allow us to print the whole article, but basically, if I remember correctly, all the polymer mags failed an 8.5 foot drop test while loaded. The aluminum mags passed. Stainless steel would pass, I suspect. I like my Grendel mags as they are. Its really hard to beat the folded steel strength issues when you use the same form factor with polymer.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
