Aftermarket and OEM magazines

[Bobby]

I’ve tried both OEM and aftermarket mags over time, and the differences can be surprising, I have noticed that some aftermarket ones run great and others are junk. And to be honest reliability matters more than price for me. What’s this community take; aftermarket or OEM, and which ones have you had good (or bad) luck with?

I trust the factory mags first, then I test out the aftermarket ones really well. Some Magpul and Mec Gar mags worked great for me, while others failed fast. Saving a few bucks isn't worth it if the gun doesn't feed right.
