So. what is the compatibility situation with the 9mm Resolute uppers, other than CMMG dedicated lowers, and the CMMG/Endomag magazine guts?  My fantastic Hahn block for Colt mags doesn't work.  Recover Tactical specifically says their pistol mag adapters do not work with CMMG radial-delay uppers.

TMK, other than what you already mentioned, they only offer parts to convert their blowback lower to run Colt mags.
For Colt mags to run in their blowback lower: https://cmmg.com/parts-kit-mk9-9mm-radial-delayed-blowback-colt-metalform-mags
For CPD mags to run in their blowback lower: https://cmmg.com/parts-kit-mk9-9mm-radial-delayed-blowback-asc-cpd-mags

Before they came out with those kits.  Several people including myself modified lowers / mag blocks to run un-modified Colt Mags.
I have this documented on my site here: https://c3junkie.com/?page_id=374
I'm using a Hahn block as well:
9mm CMMG Guard and Colt mags



I have friends that have also did the Stern mag block to run Glock mags.
Several people have done other variants.  
Here is a thread using Scorpion mags: https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/New-NFA-S-9-Lower-Scorpion-mags-Pics-and-build-in-progress-with-CMMG-RDB-UPDATE-8-25-IT-LIVES-/15-754694/

So you modified the mag catch to hold the magazine lower?  But that also allows the magazine to "float" that amount in the magwell, and pressure on the bottom of the magazine will stop the bolt again?
I don't think I want to do that.

I can try lowering the mag catch of a 3D printed Hoffman Tactical lower by .060 – .080"

As mentioned on my site, I had a buddy TIG to the Hahn BHO so that would work and I was going to TIG to the steel feed ramp then mill it to contact the top of the Colt mag to prevent it from going too high if pressure was applied to the mag but didn't bother since the Endomags came out and I prefer them over Colt mags.
