Description

Mission First Tactical Extreme Duty magazines just keep getting better. In this video, we take a look at their new Extreme Duty Window Mag. About a year ago, MFT came out with the heavy-duty version of their magazine, which proved its mettle on the PDN Training Tour.

And the newest version is even better because it has a viewable window that shows the condition of the magazine. Whether for rifle training and practice or for defensive or professional use, this is a valuable feature.

EXTREME DUTY MAGAZINES

The Mission First Tactical Extreme Duty Window Mag starts off with all the advantages of earlier Extreme Duty magazines: It has a four-way anti-tilt self-lubricating follower. It has dual safeties on the flared base pad, which the user can disassemble without any tools. It has a ribbed bottom area for a secure grip and reliability. So it’s a great magazine to begin with.

WINDOW MAG FEATURES

Here’s how the window works. Not only can you look in to see if there’s ammunition in the magazine when it’s full, but you also get a high-visibility orange coil on the stainless steel USGI-type spring that lets you know exactly how many rounds are in the magazine at any given point.

The clear window has numbers on it to show how many rounds remain, but as you become familiar with the magazine, you’ll get used to understanding exactly what you’re seeing in the window. For example, when you put four rounds in, you can just barely see the high-visibility orange coil. So when you see the coil, you have five rounds left (counting the one in the chamber).

A RIFLE WITHOUT A MAGAZINE IS A…

Magazines aren’t an option when shooting a rifle — they’re must-have defensive gear. Why not choose a high-quality option like Mission First Tactical Extreme Duty magazines?

Many professional and competitive shooters only use magazines that have a window so they will know the condition of the magazine at a glance. It’s a positive development that Mission First Tactical is now making this type of window magazine.

This is a Mission First Tactical Extreme Duty Window Mag. Now, Mission First Tactical magazines just keep getting better. About a year ago, they came out with a heavy duty version of their magazine, which I loved. Used all throughout the 2019 personal events network training tour. Lots of students, lots of friends in the community here using them also. Now they're even better because they have a viewable window to let you know the condition of the mag. And this new magazine with the window starts off as an extreme duty magazine. It's got the four way anti-tilt, self-lubricating follower. It's got dual safeties on the flared base pad that you can disassemble without any tools. Of course, it's got the ribbed bottom area for grip and for reliability. This is a great magazine to begin with. Here's the way the window works. Not only can you look in, obviously to see if there's ammunition in the magazine when it's full, but you also get this high visibility coil on the stainless steel US GI's type spring that lets you know exactly how many rounds are in the magazine at any given point. Now, yes, there are the numbers there. You can tell this has 21 rounds in it. It's somewhere between 15 and 25, but what's nice about this is also once you use the magazine you'll get used to understanding exactly what you're seeing on the window. I know that this magazine has 21 rounds because I can see one round in there. So you basically find out that you're at 2/3 of the magazine left or less once there's nothing in the window. Another important thing to note is that when you put four rounds in, you can just barely see that high visibility orange coil. So, once you see that orange coil is all the way up here counting the one in the chamber, that's five rounds left. Obviously it's gonna be full. The orange coil is gonna be all the way down at the bottom and you're going to see that window full of ammunition. So a lot of people over the last, couple of decades have decided that they will only have magazines that they can glance at and know the condition whether it's full or whether it's partially full or whether you need to think about getting another magazine ready. And I'm glad Mission First has joined the providers that give us that option, especially in their extreme duty magazine. It's an outstanding option from Mission First Tactical regardless of what application you're gonna use for that AR 15 type 30 round magazine.
