Only reasons I wouldn't want a AICS style mags is the size kinda limits stuffing multiple in each pants pocket (rolling light). There is something to said about 3 of these 10rnd'ers easily fitting in your front pants pocket. Why Remington ever quit these utterly baffles me. Cant be cost because they already invested in the tooling and the aftermarket ones are as good and cheap to buy and reliable as factory ones.
Or the mag is esthetically degrading on a gun that's sole value is its esthetic appearance (your uber DDD African walnut ultra engraved gold inlay'd pretty bitch guns).
The AICS design actually is better (at least in stated theory) because the rounds feed straight into the breech versus bullets rubbing on feed ramps and/or chamber walls to various degrees of damage. And grabbing and yanking out AICS mags stuck under stress is easier than fiddling with smaller mag catch buttons and smaller body mags.
