Really? A 20-round Magazine for an HK Full size USP 45 pistol? Do I really need one of these? I guess it is sort of like going to the theatre and someone offering you the small barf bag size of popcorn or for an extra 50 cents having the 10,000 calorie Bucket of Popcorn.\u00a0 Does everyone need one of these magazines? The short answer is no.\u00a0 Should you get one? I’ll leave it up to you to decide if this is something you really need.<\/p>\n
I want to first state that there is no such thing as ANY Pro Mag product being as reliable as a factory magazine.\u00a0 I have never found this to ever be the case.\u00a0 However, can Pro Mag offer you a magazine that makes your pistol look like a MAC-10?\u00a0 They sure can and almost specialize in crazy capacity pistol magazines.\u00a0 I have a friend of mine who is sometimes\u00a0a little too obsessed with Zombie movies.\u00a0 Would this be the perfect magazine to survive in a Zombie Apocalypse?\u00a0 Sure, it would make for an impressive Hollywood style magazine for a gun.\u00a0 Would I trust my life by putting my primary magazine for my gun next to my bed being a 20-round Pro Mag Industries HK USP 45 Full Size model magazine? Hell no.<\/p>\n
That being said, would this be a fun magazine to take to a shooting range for target practice, steel shooting, etc?\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 Plus the one thing that is good about Pro Mag Industries magazines being finicky and having problems is that it does train you on how to react to weapon malfunctions.\u00a0 If you spend all your time shooting and have factory magazines and never encounter a mechanically problem, how well do you think you would react if someone was breaking in your house and you had a failure to feed, stove pipe, failure to eject, etc?\u00a0 I know this is kind of bad way of making a decision on buying a magazine or not from a manufacturer, but I wanted to mention it here.<\/p>\n
If you want to have\u00a0a couple of “cool” magazines to show off at the range or in your collection, these 20-rnd magazines for the HK USP full size edition 45s do the job.\u00a0 They work in pretty much all USP 45 models that are not the Compact or Compact Tactical 45.\u00a0 These WILL NOT WORK in the HK45 since the newer HK45 that came out in 2008\/2009 has a completely different magazine.\u00a0\u00a0 Even though I seem to dump on these magazines a bit in this article, they tend to make cheaper magazines (both in price and quality) but do have\u00a0a lifetime warranty.\u00a0 Pro Mag offers a larger variety of magazines options that you will not find from the guns manufacturer.\u00a0 That being said, I would normally never buy a Pro Mag product that has a capacity of the same size as a factory magazine I can get from the manufacturer.\u00a0 Some exceptions to this may be if you live in a Communist Republic, like New York or California that have restrictions on hi capacity magazines and the only thing you can find are some pre-ban hi-capacity magazines.<\/p>\n
