Re: AR 9mm magazines for Colt
Colt markets/makes their own, don't they? I see Botach has them for $55, so I'm guessing that's an average price.

I would go with the original Colt mags. I have quite a few of the plastic mags and while they work ok I did have to massage the lips quite a bit to allow feeding of hollowpoints. The Colt mags have worked with everything from the start.

They are good too. They look and function like the colt and have a no tip follower.

Re: AR 9mm magazines for Colt
My understanding is that C-Products makes crap and that the company is no longer even called C-Products. The best bet are the magazines made by Metalform that Brownells sells. They were the "official" Colt magazines back in the day.
Personally, I am stuck with pre-ban original Colt magazines or converted Uzi magazines. Both work well, except the Uzi mags don't hold the bolt open without a mod.

How do you convert an Uzi Mag? I will order some metalform mags.
