Sometimes 20 rounders just make more sense. Whether you’re going for a certain look, or you’re planning on shooting off of a bag or other confined position, 20-round magazines can come in handy every once in a while. DuraMag is proud to announce the introduction of their new 20-round SPEED mags which feature the same familiar contour of a standard 30-round mag, but in a more compact form for easier belt-carrying or for when you’re going to be shooting prone a lot.

DuraMag’s New 20-Round SPEED Mags with 30-round Contour
Thanks to development for a military contract, DURAMAG now offers new options for marksmen in the form of a new 20-round aluminum 5.56x45mm AR magazine. This new magazine follows the familiar contours of a standard 30-round AR magazine, but reduces overall length for prone and bench-shooting situations, and increased comfort when carried on a belt.
The new 20rd SPEED magazine offers the following features and expands the shooter’s options with:
- Easier handling into and out of rifles and pouches by providing increased surface area to grip.
- Simplified reloading mechanics for shooters with the familiar curve shooters of 30-round magazines have trained with.
- Enhanced round presentation angle; reducing projectile contact during feeding for increased accuracy potential.
- More internal volume than polymer alternatives for superior reliability and resistance to particulate debris, including dust and sand.
- Color anodizing for accelerated recognition of specialty loads, camouflage integration, or a touch of style.
The weight-saving benefits of DURAMAG’s aluminum SPEED line and full suite of DURAMAG’s trademark technologies. DURAMAG will continue to produce and sell the signature, straight-bodied stainless-steel 20-round magazine in addition to making this aluminum curved military-contract option to the American public.
At the time of writing, I haven’t been able to find these magazines on their website and the press release sent out by DuraMag didn’t contain any sort of pricing information or info regarding what color options will be available for these new magazines. For those curious, DuraMag has stated plainly that they will still continue to produce, and sell their signature straight-bodied stainless-steel 20-round magazines in addition to these new mags.
