I only know of 3 manufacturers who make 9mm uppers. Olympic, ASA, and Colt. I don't like the Oly because of the magazines ($65) but I am intrigued by the ASA. It looks like the ASA is similar to the Colt design and the mags are cheaper than the Oly. I know that Bob at ASA is an ass but how is the quality of his stuff?

Alls I can tells ya os that I LOVE my Oly .40 S&W.

So does my wife.

How much are ASA mags?? Do they use Colt mags?? I couldn't imagine Colt would be much cheaper than Oly mags.

Also, you can get Sten mags for real cheap, and with a little work convert them to any Oly configuration. (Stens are for 9mm, Uzi mags are for .40 S&W, I beleive)

I'm looking forward to other responses here.

Forget what I said about the mags. I was thinking about a MK76 I was looking at last night that said mags were $25.
