I'm thinking about picking up an M&P9.  I would have one already if I could find some reasonably priced mags, new or used.  Factory mags are not cheap and seem to be tough to find.

What other brand mags are decent?  I did just grab a couple of ACT-Mags off of the EE.   I've used these a bunch in Sigs and Berettas so I figure these are fine.  Are there any other decent mags?  Promag is usually garbage but maybe?  ETS?  

Thanks!

New ACT-Mags is you like the ones off of EE.  I have used these; work fine.  I also find used OEM mags on occasion for $20.

Aimsurplus.com has used ones from time to time.   They most likely come from the police trade in guns they get.

Experience with mags in a rental at a small lgs:


Pro-mag: will not drop free, mag swells when full. Fed ok.

Ets mags: will not drop free, mag swells when full. some issues feeding. Took it out of service because of complaints.

Factory mag: no issues

Last time Aim had trade in 9mm mags, IIRC they were $12 to $15 a piece, and I stocked way up.

I have a pair of Gen 1 M&Ps with many factory mags. No issues on any level for me.

Those have an excellent reputation.  If I had not gotten in an AIM trade in M&P9 mag shipment that’s what I’d be using for range  mags.

Too bad Mec-Gar does not make any for the M&P's. I use them in my 5903 and they are great.

I'm going to disagree with the majority when it comes to Act mags.  They are ok range mags, but I would not carry them.  I've had a couple hiccups with them in otherwise totally reliable pistols.

I foolishly purchased a pro mag to try because, everything they make can't be junk right?
Naw it was junk. So don't waste your money.

Will the sleeves from S&W fit on them so I can use them in my compact? I got several of the used OEM mags from AIM and use the sleeves to add a couple rounds.
