The tiny OEM mags are tough to load since they are so small, especially with holding the cover in place while loading the first pellet. For me, the CARM mags were well worth the asking price!I appreciate what your saying and obviously its all about what works…might be some in the future for shot count…lol…as I said for me no OEM issues….good luck…tiny hard to load +1Again 6-3 shade tree mechanic. Maybe I'm just not gentle enough Links for the CARM Mag appreciated.Phil, I have not had any issues with the OEM mags, other than they are small and harder to load with old arthritic hands! The CARM mags are just much more geriatric friendly!

Quote from: 2A Georgia on May 29, 2023, 01:04:53 AMUpdating my "after the first date" review.I am probably ordering the CARM mags as someone I respect and trust said they work well (better than the OEM). His exact words were "just use the single shot tray until your CARM mags arrive." Ignoring his voice of experience comments have cost me great pain and long learning curves in the past. The trigger has a very long and mushy first phase. I read that it can be adjusted shorter to almost no first phase so that's on the todo list. In search of the perfect optic. The Vortex Venom is a wonderful "self defense PB" optic which is where it was in another life, but not 25 yard friendly for my eyes. Next was the SvBony 4x32 fixed. Okay, but I couldn't see the holes at 25 yards so probably a prismatic won't have enough magnification either. Sounds like Bugbuster for weight and 9X power (apparently the magnification I need at 40 yards). I was thankful that I had my "don't judge me" spare optic to try when the RD didn't workout for me past 10M.The OEM mags also tend to be pellet manglers. I actually get a different POI using my OEM PP800/PR900 mags (which are almost the same as pp750 mags) vs the CARM mags or the SST. I actually don't mind loading the OEM mags, but find the clear covers to be very fragile despite my best efforts to handle them gingerly.

I have Carm and PP750 magazines on the way.
Yep, I scored one on the 20% off sale at Pyramyd and it arrived today.Cleaned it up, put the stock on, cleaned the barrel, put on a UTG Bugbuster 3-9 scope. Mag works ok. Cock and feed still a little rough. First mag used to sight in the scope, then put 14 shots in .25" hole at 20 yards. Flabergasted!I wish I'd have got one sooner......

I wanna keep the scope low, so ordered the small ones
Yeah, I'm just target shooting at 21 yards, so doesn't matter that much, BUT it does look "meaner" with a low profile
