Period.
How are they over-hyped? They don't dent and stay dented, they don't rust, they're quieter when in contact with other gear, and they run like a scalded dog, even topped off completely with 30 instead of 28 rounds. I have yet to get a magazine related failure with PMags.while P mags are good, they are way over hyped. for a lot less money, the USGI M16 20 and 30 rounds are excellent mags

That's called effective marketing. If you don't like Magpul, don't buy Magpul. Like you, I owned and used USGI mags for years, but the PMags are a significant improvement, like it or not.

There's a reason they're near the top of the wish lists of currently deployed personnel in the field.the marketing of them from the manufaturer and all the gear queers
