Okay, wait, that's wrong. My Saiga 308s had mostly plastic mags. Gay sauce.
Amen to that. Only plastic mags I have ever owned were for an old Cobray M11 and a Ruger Mini 30.
I have about 30 metal mags, some pretty, some not, and they all function fine. Ones that don't get tossed, if they have no useful parts. I think the most I ever paid for one was $10, and the cheapest was $5. Some are probably older than I am. I wonder if a Pmag will last 45 years. What's so special about them anyway?
I know my rifle and I know my mags and I know how to insert and seat a magazine, however, I have seem many fubar moments when folks lula load god knows how many rounds into a mag and try to go hot with them. They either gingerly pat pat pat them into the gun, or they act like theyre vampire hunters with a woodenn stake. Its to those folks that I say load to 28 or take one or two out of the "full" mag.
I figure if they are asking me how many rounds they should load, then they really dont know, and theres a lot more they dont know, like how to push pull, maintain their mags, charge the gun, etc.. So for the sake of a novice getting a gun that they arent 100% fully gtg on, 28 will keep em making noise longer.
