Design and Materials

The PROMAG SAIGA drum magazine is built from a high impact super strength black polymer with steel reinforcement inserts. That hybrid construction delivers a balance of impact resistance and structural rigidity: the polymer keeps weight manageable while the steel inserts reinforce load-bearing interfaces and feed lips, improving longevity under repeated use.

Compatibility and Ammunition

This drum holds 2.75″ ammunition and is intended for use with the Saiga 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun platform. The 2.75″ shell length is still the most common 12 gauge size in many defensive and range applications, offering a broad selection of defensive, buckshot, and target loads. Using the correct shell length helps ensure reliable feeding and reduces the risk of malfunctions.

Applications and Tactical Use

For tactical training, competition formats that allow high capacity, or defensive scenarios where rapid follow-up shots are necessary, a drum magazine like the PROMAG SAIGA provides extended capacity without frequent reloads. The reinforced feed areas and robust polymer body make it suited to hard use and transport in gear bags or vehicle stows.

Fit, Handling, and Value

Promag is a known name in aftermarket magazines; the product’s model entry listed as Various indicates multiple fitment revisions or platform variants over time, so confirm compatibility with your specific Saiga configuration before purchasing. At a street price of $96.99, the drum represents a mid-range cost for specialized high-capacity magazines—an option for shooters prioritizing capacity and durability without moving into premium-priced billet or steel-only drums.

Practical considerations include routine inspection of the steel inserts and polymer body for cracks or deformation, and ensuring shells used are within spec for 2.75″ chambers. For more details or to secure availability, View product details and pricing.
