| Where do I get these? I keep hearing good things about them but have never seen them. |

The M9 mags are fine. Early runs had phosphate on the inside of the mag -PER GOV SPEC - that dust and sand would get caught in. Current runs no longer have the phosphate on the inside. As for old mags, take a steel wool pad and run it up and down the mag tube. That should smooth everything out. Av. |
We have the Checkmate M9 mags at work and they are most assuredly crap. |
He's probably hearing it from Checkmate users such as myself, who has shot thousands of rds thru them in competition & NEVER had a SINGLE problem with, not one. |
What problems are you having? Current issue mags are working fine in Iraq and Afganistan (per USMC and Army guys I know that are deployed right now). I am not deployed myself, but I run Checkmate mags in my IDPA and carry gun. Av. |
| go to www.buylci.com/ . Use the preview/shop as a guest entry(on the left hand side of the page). In the search form put in "1005012044376". An M9 15 round NSN contract magazine will come up for $10.40 which includes the shipping. This will either be the Checkmate or the latest Airtronics contract magazine. |
The old parked ones did suck... Another problem with M9 mags is that many units throw them in a box to rust between ranges... |
