I want to buy several 10-round magazines. What make has the best reputation and where do you find them?

Are the Pro Mags good/reliable?

I bought one of the Pro Mags off of Midway a few years ago... During the first firing session, the floor plate came partly off, sliding forward about 1/4 inch. I had to "edit" the magazine a little bit, bending the floor plate and the tabs that hold it in place. Now it runs acceptably well. It seats rough in my guns though.

I far prefer my GI mag that is blocked to 10 rounds, it is a lot easier to seat, and feeds a bit better.

Let me know if you find any really good solution! I am behind enemy lines in CA.

I don't claim to know much about non USGI carbine mags. I exclusively use USGI ...and a few S.Korean. 

However, I have had some experience with aftermarket mags for other firearms. From my experience Proform mags are mediocre. I'd only buy those if I had no other choice.
