Awesome
These mags perform perfectly, and you can leave them loaded for extended periods of time thanks to the steel feed lips.

Quality mag worth your consideration
I try to pick these up whenever they go on sale. As a matter of preference I like these better than Pmags but both work great for me. These are a little more money, but I think they're worth it.

Everything great about a Magpul with extra grip texture and broad steel feed lips like a GI mag. I have a pair each of CH Products, Tapco, Magpul gen2 and this, and these are at least a little better in every respect than the others.

Ok I'm going to start by saying it's good for the price, but with my Rock River AR-15 it dose not like feeding the last round and mine came with big scratch. I'm not really wanting to send it back. So I plan on making some mods to it and see if I can't make it work

So far these magazines appear to be well built. I have not had the chance to fire from them yet but I will say this, they load easily, empty magazines drop free as soon as you hit the release, and when fully loaded they lock into place fairly easily even when the bolt is closed. I really like the texture as it gives a really good grip and the fact that the but plate is almost the same width as the rest of the magazine, you have no issues pulling out of a double mag holder unlike a P-Mag. If these perform as well at the range as others have reported I think I have found my new 'go-to' mag.

Easily on par with Magpul
Easily on par with Magpul's offerings. Can't go wrong with either, but the steel feed lips give the Lancers a distinct strength advantage.

This magazine is top notch. The steel lips on the magazine work well and I am confident will keep the top of the magazine from deforming and will ensure good feeds. The molding is flawless and is more than i expected. I am a fan of the military steel mags but as a polymer magazine this is the best.

Only reason it's not a 5
Only reason it's not a 5 is that I had to give it an extra push inserting it into my rifle when fully loaded

Outstanding AR Mag. Lance
Outstanding AR Mag. Lancer has given us the best of both worlds in Magazines for our AR's. The Lancer Hybrid has the durability, quietness, and weather resistance of a poly mag and the strength of steel for the lips where all the work is done. The no tilt follower is an added bonus for certain. This is the sixth Lancer Hybrid that I have purchased and I can find no complaint about them. They even fit in my mag carriers on my deuce gear. As for feeding, My Windham Weaponry Varmint Exterminator really loves these Lancer Hybrids.Semper Fi

Picked this up to keep loaded for home defense. Its a solid magazine. Nice and sturdy, and well built. Fits perfectly in to my Bushmaster. If you can grab it for the right price, I highly recommend it.

Bought 2 of these Lancer
Bought 2 of these Lancer mags. Shot some 5.56 rounds with my Bushmaster M4 last week. Pretty good performance; I'm no expert at mag construction, but the hybrid steel/polymer composition seems durable and light-weight. Surprised they were available for this price. Not surprised CTD is sold out now.

Wow for an off-brand mag
Wow for an off-brand mag they're awesome. Yeah a bit pricey but great great great mag I got ten of them and they load, feed and eject well. They load 30 rds in without that really hard load feeling, a must buy. I'm definitely going to buy more

I've bought these before
I've bought these before and got more. I loaded two full mags, let them sit for two months without using, put them in the gun, and fired all the bullets. Did not weaken spring, feed lips were just fine and had no problems at all. Did several three and five round bursts and not one jam up. I'm telling you, if you want a good mag. this is it. Looking at getting some 10 and 5 round mags because they are made the same. When my friends ask me what I use, I tell them L5 Advanced Warfighters. I have others but this is my choice. Thanks, CTD, for making these available.

As a veteran range master
As a veteran range master, PMAGs used to be the mag of choice for me. Then I saw these for cheap. I ordered two and when they got here, one was missing the feed lips. But it was quickly replaced by a quick call to CTD's customer service. Thumbs up to them for this experience. These mags take the abuse, and feed smoothly and reliably, even with sand/dirt/grime in them. When full (all 30 rounds), make sure you seat them in the rifle well, as the spring is really strong. The polymer is lighter and a little thinner than PMAGs, but seems just as tough. Anti tilt followers are a nice touch, too. End plate removes easily. Great traction grip towards the bottom of the mag. I just ordered more now to replace all my PMAGs. New favorite mag.

Great mag for the money. I fired 30 rounds as fast as I could pull the trigger with no issues.

This mag is high quality,
This mag is high quality, works great, ejects good, and feeds good. This is not some cheap piece of junk. You will not use anything else better than the p mags, but once you try these they will be all you will want. Best of both worlds with the steel around the top and poly everywhere else. They are made strong and if needed it, the butt plate is easy to remove and follower slides very good. I highly recommend this one and I will be getting more.

These magazines are flawl
These magazines are flawless in every way. I could list all the reasons these magazines are perfect, but it would be easier to just sum it up like this: these should be standard issue to all branches of the military.
