I'm waiting for my Colt style lower from DDLES. It was a tough time deciding between that or the Glock mag lower. |

I had a my Bolt milled today and test fired the gun right after, 30 rnds shot perfectly, i couldn't ask for a better test today, Monday night I will put about 200 rnds or more down range and I am sure I will have the same results. I love this DDLE Glock lower and the set up I did so far..

Most Metalform mags have metal followers. All C-products mags have either black or orange plastic followers, I think. The reason I'm curious is that C-prod are known to have shipped out of spec mags. Metalform is considered to make the best 9mm AR mags. If your mags are in fact C-prod, the lower might not be your problem. Both manufacturers make 20 round mags. |

Supposed to make it run as smooth or smoother then my wifes MP5 (Clone) so for about the same money I will try it.

My DDLES Colt lower drops my magazines free just fine. Possibly a batch issue with your lower or something different from the magazines your using? I'm using assortment of old Colt magazines. |

Only reason I would consider changing is the fact that if I drop my fully loaded Colt magazine, I would be doing a 32 rd pickup. Don't think the Glock mag I would have a issue with that. Not fun to pick up rounds on dropping a partial mag on the deck in a tactical shooting competition.. (dropping magazine mostly empty due to reloading on moving to next target) |

What do you have to do to your bolt to work with th glock lower? Can you just buy a lower and bolt together and run right out of the box?

Thank You Yes, if it works with a Glock mag it should work with a S&W mag. Problem is going to be getting a mag block to work with the S&W mags. |
