  1. Actual Uzi magazines or Colt/Uzi combo mags? The only difference is the retainer cut and I have seen some that had both cuts and would work with both.

  2. Yes and no. The stuff nowadays is much more stable, but it's still polymer.

  3. I think that would be the STG 43/44. Unless you consider guns like the Lewis, Chauchat and Dektaryev that used rimmed cartridges and had extremely curved magazines.

  4. One of the reasons I sprung for a Definitive Arms AKX-9 was that it took Colt SMG pattern magazines. I already used them in my AR-9 and the ones from ASC are inexpensive, well functioning and as rugged as steel AK mags.

  5. I am sorely tempted by the CMMG Banshee in 5.7. It takes FiveseveN magazines, of which I have a few converted to 30 rounders, as well as a rimfire suppressor rated for 5.7x28.

  6. Sig buyers learn this the day they buy the gun and ask "How much for a third magazine?"

  7. "I don't think that word means what you think it does"

  8. Every blow-forward design Ian has shown seems to have excessive recoil as ONE of the issues. Not unworkable in a 7.65 pistol. Not so with a full power battle rifle cartridge.

  9. The main source of AK reliability is the magazine. Colt SMG pattern steel mags are just as rugged and under $20 from ASC.

  10. I have had very good luck with ASC magazines. They make the best 5.45x39 AR magazines and are very reasonably priced.

  11. Strange. I saw the same video (I think) and the guy making the video seemed to think a $40+ magazine should work better. My YHM AR-9 upper came with the Hahn magwell adapter, takes Colt SMG patter mags, and is very satisfactory. You can't beat the ruggedness and reliability of the Colt pattern magazines (which are based on Uzi mags) and they cost under $20 from ASC. If you want just a single mag the Endomag is the way to go. If you want a baker's dozen magazines or more, ASC Colt pattern mags are the ticket.

  12. I have a baker's dozen of them for two different 9mm PCC's. Cheap and rugged. And there is a LULA for them.

  13. My AKX-9 takes Colt SMG pattern magazines. Rugged, reliable and under $20 for the 32 rounders.

  14. That really sux as many manufacturers don't see enough market potential in restricted state only products.
