Please help! I'm looking to get some hi cap mags for Beretta 92, Browning Hi power, and Sig 226. Does anyone have experience or information with both brands for each of the handguns? The Promags cost $2 more which I am more than willing to pay for better quality and/or fit. Otherwise, I'll go with USA. I've noticed some mags fit better than others. Thanks for any response.
Promag vs. Usa mag Which is better?

USA mags are the absolutely worst mags ever made. Anything but USA!! (Mags, that is.)

If you tally up all of the collective posts o the various websites, the Promags stand out as being some of the very best aftermarket mag makers along with MecGar (sp?).
Pro-Mags have worked well in my Sig P226 (hi-caps), Sig P220, and my Kahr E9.
USA mags apparently isn't making a good line of products. Period.
I concur with the person above who stated to use factory for CCW and aftermarket for range training.

If it can't shoot jacketed rad turds powered by rodent farts, I ain't gonna shoot it!

I bought eight hi-cap Pro-Mags for my Glock 34. Not ONE worked! Jamamatics in my G34 and in my friend's G17.
- Slide would lock back only "sometimes".
- Loaded rounds came flying out of the gun when the gun cycled! (I never even heard of such a thing before this!!)
- Even with ball ammo, rounds would "tip" downward, catch on the mag, and fail to feed.
ALL of these problems were sporadic but happened with all eight mags!
I took one apart and found rough spots all over the inside of the mag. By removing the rough spots on that mag (with a file and sandpaper), it seems to work better. Re-construction is still in progress.
I would not recommend Pro-Mag for 9mm Glocks to anyone. However, I've heard compliments about Pro-Mag in .45!
Be careful and good luck!
(PS. I don't get to this forum as much as I would like. Feel free to e-mail me if I can help.)

Speaking only about mags for GLOCKS, ANYthing other than a Glock factory mag SUCKS.
Some and I mean SOME get lucky with a Pro-Mag here and there.. Why would you take the chance with a weapon that you might need to use sometime..
It's like the old saying: you GET what you PAY for !
