I have NEVER seen anybody prove the cut down 30s (curved 20s) manufactured by C products and D&H are inferior in any way compared with any USGI straight mag. Nor have I EVER seen anybody prove aluminium followers are superior to plastic.

first let me say I have both straight and curved 20rd mags and I have them with aluminum, Green and Magpul followers. Every 20rd mag I have works flawlessly wether it is straight or curved or has a metal or plastic follower.

I also don't understand why alot of people here say that the straight 20's are superior to the curved and that the metal followers are superior to the plastic. I beleive that these statements are based on opinion and not any fact.

CProducts is a great place to get very good 20rd mags that will fit 20 rounds.

Compare both
the curve 20 w/ GREEN follower will TILT easy
compared to the Metal Followers

The old 20`s are spot weld a bit better than my D&H 20`curve

the old Colts also are made with 1 piece of alum Not 2 like the curve

I own both and both work

BTW
Ive seen better curve 20`s than my D&H LEO`s 12/05

Id rather have CP made mags

+1 I found some at Knob Creek a couple of weeks ago for $11.00 each. I picked up 5 of them and I am very pleased with their quality and performance.

The MAIN reason way back then to load 18rds was that some GI`S would replace the spring Back ass wards in the straight 20 round mag

Some down load because the mag is hard to fit when loaded a full 20rds

Most my reloads MY BOLT is locked Back !!

So loading a Full 20 rounder is no problem for ME

Im sure 18 rds will be enough or 28rds
So the 2 rds really isnt a big Deal

I gotta agree, I have all 3 myself and have never noticed a problem. Personally I like the idea of the curved 20's having the reenforced feed lips at the rear (like the 30s) to help prevent the lips from spreading.

As far as I'm concerned the debate about straight vs curved 20s or alloy vs plastic followers are talking about MTBF rates that make the AK vs AR threads looks reasonable.

Exactly! I have 9 of the old Colt 20 rounders with metal followers and 2 of the newer ones with the black plastic followers; you can still find them at Gunbroker and on the EE.
