Description
The HEXMAG Shorty delivers everything you need in a compact, service-friendly 10-round magazine. It's built from durable POLYHEX2 advanced composite with HEXTURE texturing that gives you a secure grip without feeling slippery when things get real. The redesigned feed lip geometry works with the deep catch pocket to keep rounds feeding smoothly and the magazine locked in place when you need it.
What makes this mag stand out is how easy it is to maintain. The tool-less disassembly design means you can break it down for a quick clean without hunting for a screwdriver or specialized tool. That might not sound like much until you're at the range after a training session and just need to wipe things down fast. The heat-treated stainless steel spring handles long-term storage without losing spring pressure, so your mags stay ready to go whether you shoot them once a week or once a month.
HEXMAG Shorty's Compact Profile
The 10/20 body gives you a standard magazine profile that looks right on your rifle while keeping everything short and manageable. This shorter design is a real advantage if you shoot prone or from a bench rest, where a full-size mag sticks up and gets in the way. The Flat Dark Earth finish blends seamlessly with modern AR builds and helps tie your setup together visually.
Smart Reload Features
Stripper clip guides built into the magazine let you load rounds quickly if you need to top off between stages or reload at the range. The hexagonal pattern isn't just for looks either, it gives you better material distribution and helps keep everything rigid during use and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a 10-round magazine instead of a standard 30-round?
The compact profile of the Shorty makes it ideal for prone and bench shooting, where a full-size mag interferes with your position on the ground or bench. Many competitors and precision shooters prefer the shorter body for stability and sight picture clarity. The smaller capacity also works for hunting applications and is suitable for range work where you don't need maximum firepower.
Can you disassemble the HEXMAG Shorty for cleaning?
Yes, the tool-less disassembly design lets you take it apart without any specialized tools. That said, some users note that because this model is pinned internally to maintain 10-round capacity, you should inspect the manufacturer's guidance on what parts can actually be accessed. The tool-less feature is primarily for removing the spring and follower for routine maintenance.
How does the feed lip geometry affect reliability?
The redesigned feed lips have been engineered to work across a wider variety of AR platforms while maintaining strength. Better geometry means smoother rounds feeding without hang-ups, and the updated design provides increased versatility between different receiver types and upper combinations you might run.
What makes the HEXTURE pattern useful beyond looks?
The hexagonal texturing provides a genuinely secure grip when you need to manipulate the magazine, especially with gloved hands or in adverse conditions. The extra grip material helps you change magazines quickly and controls the mag better during insertion and removal, which matters when you're running drills or dealing with fouled conditions downrange.
