We had planned to get this review out next Monday but because of the impending election tomorrow, it is prudent that it goes out today. No matter who you are voting for or who is elected, there may be a run on high capacity magazines.   There are plenty of 30 round AR-15 magazines around, but if you have been considering one of the new 60 round SureFire mags, they will most likely dry up pretty quick if there is a nationwide run on them.   There is no magazine like the SureFire for the AR-15, and it comes in both 60 and 100 round varieties, but the 100 round has been sold out and back-ordered for months.  As of today there are plenty of 60 round mags available, and though they are pricey, $129 each, compared to a 100 round Beta-C mag they are competitively affordable.  After the nightmare of Hurricane Sandy, which is still going on in New York and New Jersey, every American should understand that they are not exempt from disaster and possibly having to defend life and property.  Sixty rounds of .223\/5.56 with no mag change is a heck of a defense.  If you can afford one and have been putting it off, now would be a good time to order the 60 round SureFire mag.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nReviewing a magazine is typically not the most exciting thing to do; So much so that it has been put off more than once. As such, we have been shooting the 60 round mag for over 8 months, and it always just works. There is a long and in progress  project on the Teludyne Straightjacket that we are using the SureFire for, and we have used it repeatedly with the new version of the SlideFire Solutions bump stock you see in the video we made for this review, over 5000 rounds worth.   The magazine has never failed to feed. It has never had a hangup. It has never been overrun, no matter how fast we have fired.   Compared to a clutzy Beta-C mag, 60 rounds may not be 100, but two SureFire 60 rounders go for about what a Beta C goes for, and the two mags probably fit in your tactical vest.  You don&#8217;t need a special &#8220;purse&#8221; to carry your magazines with the SureFire.   It is about 3\/4 of an inch longer than a 30 round mag, but lighter than two clamped together.  Surefire sells a $59 MOLLE pouch for it, but I found that it fits in my $50 UTG tactical vest just fine. The magazine never fails.  Excuse the gushing, but there is simply is no comparison to this SureFire product, and anyone who suspects that a gunfight may be in their cards should own at least one.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the civilian market, not counting licensed Class 3 shooters, even a 30 round magazine is a lot of bullets, and many people consider the 30 round AR-15 magazine the perfect size and capacity for home and neighborhood defense, as well as most competitive shooting disciplines with the AR-15.  That has all changed now for two reasons. One is 3-Gun competition.  Some 3-Gun stages are specifically for 60 rounds, and no mag change is going to make a big difference in time, as much as 4 seconds. The other reason is a much bigger deal, the SlideFire stock.  As you can see from the video, using a semi-auto Colt 6920, you can now fire as fast as you want, and it is perfectly legal without the need to buy a machine gun.  There is no sear or selector with a SlideFire, so you can go from single, aimed fire, to small bursts, to a full mag dump without ever changing your grasp of the rifle or flipping any kind of switch.  In a close quarters battle situation where you have to defend your home, that 60 rounds gives you a lot more field of fire flexibility than does a 30 round magazine, and you don&#8217;t have to remember to take the other 30 with you.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you have never seen a magazine be overrun, it is different from when the action of the gun can&#8217;t keep up, which usually causes a &#8220;stovepipe&#8221; jam with a spent case.  If you try to fire your semi-auto shotgun too fast you will most likely see a stovepipe jam.  A magazine jam usually catches a live round in the action, because the magazine couldn&#8217;t feed the rounds quick enough to match the speed that the gun could fire them.  This is an occasional problem with the Beta C, especially if it gets any dust or dirt into the wheels on the sides.  Needless to say, a magazine overrun jam is much more dangerous than a slow action stovepipe jam.  The primer can bust if it hits the side of the breechface just the right way, and it is not uncommon for the gun to strip the next round as well, leaving you with two bent rounds wedged up into the action of the gun.  Magazine overrun jams are not a pretty picture.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe SureFire is from what we have seen impossible to overrun, and it is a straight mag just like the 30 rounders we all use today.  Dust and dirt fall to the bottom, out of the action of the magazine, and that is where dents usually occur as well.  No, I&#8217;m not going to dent up my $129 SureFire mag to show you, but they have already developed a reputation in Law Enforcement and Military circles for being able to take a beating and function as consistently as a 30 round mag with the same dirt and\/or damage.   Ask any soldier if she or he would like a Beta C or a couple SureFire 60 rounders and they will always take the SureFire mags.   As a civilian you have to worry less about that kind of thing, but knowing that your mag won&#8217;t fail is still extremely important.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nYou would hope that after seeing all the looting in New York right now that people would start to take their own protection more seriously, but to each his own.  At GunsAmerica we are generally preaching to the choir, so we try to focus on figuring out what guns and other products are quality, and which ones are not.  If you have ever bought ultra-high capacity mags at the gun shows, you probably already know that even most aftermarket 10-22 mags are absolute garbage, never mind AR-15 mags over 30 rounds.   It seems at least one new aftermarket magazine company opens and closes every year.  That is what makes the SureFire magazines unique.  The mags are made for the US Military, and there is no difference in the civilian version whatsoever.  The SureFire isn&#8217;t a gimmick, and it isn&#8217;t made by a fly by night company who got a deal on a button welder. The SureFire 60 round mag works well and doesn&#8217;t fail.  And though today they are available directly from SureFire, there is no guarantee that you will be able to order one on Wednesday.  We just wanted to give you a timely heads up about what we have found to be a great product. <\/p>\n<p>\n <br \/>\nSureFire<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surefire.com\/tactical-equipment\/high-capacity-magazines\/mag5-60.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\" title=\"SureFire 60 Round AR-15 Magazine - Range Report\" class=\"clickTracking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.surefire.com\/60<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an official heads up from us and SureFire to all the readers of GunsAmerica Magazine &amp; Blog.

We had planned to get this review out next Monday but because of the impending election tomorrow, it is prudent that it goes out today. No matter who you are voting for and who is elected, there may be a run on high capacity magazines. There are plenty of 30 round AR-15 magazines around, but if you have been considering one of the new 60 round SureFire mags, they will most likely dry up pretty quick if there is a nationwide run on them. There is no magazine like the SureFire for the AR-15, and it comes in both 60 and 100 round varieties, but the 100 round has been sold out and backordered for months. As of today there are plenty of 60 round mags available, and though they are pricey, $129 each, compared to a 100 round Beta-C mag they are competitively affordable. After the nightmare of Hurricane Sandy, which is still going on in New York and New Jersey, every American should understand that they are not exempt from disaster and having to defend life and property. Sixty rounds of .223\/5.56 with no mag change is a heck of a defense. If you can afford one and have been putting it off, now would be a good time to order the 60 round SureFire mag.","og_url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/","og_site_name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica","article_published_time":"2012-11-05T03:32:14+00:00","article_modified_time":"2023-10-06T16:51:14+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1032,"height":1568,"url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/cover.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Paul Helinski","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@gunsamerica","twitter_site":"@gunsamerica","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Paul Helinski","Est. reading time":"7 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/"},"author":{"name":"Paul Helinski","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#\/schema\/person\/5e03b35fc5e9064fc6af6c4e55d678c1"},"headline":"SureFire 60 Round AR-15 Magazine &#8211; Range Report","datePublished":"2012-11-05T03:32:14+00:00","dateModified":"2023-10-06T16:51:14+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/"},"wordCount":1444,"commentCount":53,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/cover.jpg","articleSection":["Accessories Misc.","Authors","Paul Helinski"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/","name":"SureFire 60 Round AR-15 Magazine - Range Report","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/cover.jpg","datePublished":"2012-11-05T03:32:14+00:00","dateModified":"2023-10-06T16:51:14+00:00","description":"SureFire 60 Round AR-15 Magazine - Range Report -","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/cover.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/cover.jpg","width":"1032","height":"1568","caption":"SureFire 60 Round AR-15 Magazine - Range Report"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/surefire-60-round-ar-15-magazine-revie\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"SureFire 60 Round AR-15 Magazine &#8211; Range Report"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/","name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","description":"Gun Reviews, Industry News, and Product Reviews for Rifles, Pistols, Revolvers, Shotguns, Optics, and Ammunition.
