CMMG website under the banshee specifically states it uses SMG 26rd Glock compatible mags. I picked up 3 for mine and noticed it's really hard to load after about half full. Still waiting to pick miy gun up, wonder if the mags just need broke in.
Thank you very much for the overview. I am considering picking up a Banshee 300 for primary home defense and fall back to my sidearm which is chambered in .45. I am considering the Banshee in 9mm for the additional round count but then I would be running different calibers. Do you think I should get the Banshee in .45 for the continuity? I'm also looking for optics suggestions for hi-stress scenarios. It seems to me than having to turn on an optic is one step that doesn't need to be there… Keep up the great content, subscribed!
SGM mags are garbage steer clear. Surprised the company is still in business since all they produce is garbage. Purchased vepr 12 mags from them years ago. Waste of money. They were all warped from pulling them out of the molds to quickly leading to sticky followers and most wouldn't fit in the magwell from being out of tolerances.
cmmg is a very underrated company. They make nice stuff I own one of their factory built AR's and for the money you cant beat it, geissele trigger and nickel boron bolt from the factory and it cost a whole lot less than a very overrated daniel defense.
X-ring, Other than your expertise in L.R.P. shooting which is my preference in the shooting sports. "Honosty" is another reason I smashed the subscribe buttonππππ
Too bad no one makes .45 acp mini drum mags for Glocks like the 9mm. That might be a good time with that cmmg banshee. Is it available with a 16 inch barrel?
I saw part of a clip from Tactical Toolbox that shows the difference in recoil between the delayed recoil of the Banshee and a standard AR-9. Rather noticeable.
Not surprisingly, I would prefer one in .45 Auto. And I like that burnt bronze. Just need to win the lotto or find a cache of gold coins first.
My Guard same as the banshee but before the name change. Β In 45 runs fine with the KCI mags 26 rounders and of course a stock Glock mag never would work with the sgm mags
Good review on the 45. Checked the price on the 200 and unfortunately at $1,400 it's over my budget. Glock mags are much more reliable than after market. This has been my experience with my 9mm glock feed. Keep those videos coming. I really enjoy them.
Nice!! 45 is my favorite caliber to load and shoot. That looks like a pleasure to shoot. That 8 inch barrel would be fun to play with high velocity loads. Can't wait to see more.
I've wondered about these as they look really nice. I've had similar problems when using after market "Glock" magazines. I just stick with the genuine mags now, and that includes most guns. I do use those Lancer AR mags you showed, after the video you showed them I went out and got over a dozen of them. Thanks for the review brother, and have a great week!

What muzzle brake are you using?
ANYBODY Point me to links regarding how this qualifies as pistol versus SBR please please thank you !!!

What is the accuracy comparason between the G21 .45 and the cmmg? Looking at it for a possible squad vehicle pistol.
What buffer weight does this run?
I recommend the kriss usa 30 rounders.
I've watched more than a few videos on the Banshee 45acp and I don't think anyone's made it through with those stick mags not jamming.
Wish this took colt stick mags and not Glock magazines…
Can u shoot 45 super in that??

what is the high velocity 45 acp ammo that you mentioned?
Great Test!
Nice shooting…doubt that any bad guys would want to do a home invasion knowing its you behind that SBR styled gun. π

I have been eyeing that same one up but on the 300 series.
Always find these aftermarket mags give some sort of issue, if not feeding itβs jamming . Another great review
Looks like a fun shooter, Thanks Ray. Have a great week also

I was this close buying CMMG 9mm but I am glad I didnβt because I bought BrΓΌgger & Thomet APC9 Pro and SD. I think I will order APC10 Pro.

Nice firearm as they have a wide variety of rounds to choose from plus tier levels on the weapon….Good info and review….Good stuff….
Iβve always thought they had very nice designs. Canβt afford one rn Bc I just bought a 92 LTT π

Very Cool CMMG Banshee 45 ACP PCC !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice shooting great review
Oh great, Ray. There goes the Christmas bonus. Gonna' have to get a motorized .45 reloading press now. The Lock & Load won't cut it if I get this.
Nice!! 45 is my favorite caliber to load and shoot. That looks like a pleasure to shoot. That 8 inch barrel would be fun to play with high velocity loads. Can't wait to see more.
Ok , send it to me when you done playing. π
With my limited experience using imported Glock mags you are rolling the dice…sometimes they work fine and sometimes they don't.
Nice looking PCC!
I would like to have one in a 10mm or the 357 Sig. Great video Ray. Thanks for sharing.
