I am looking for spare a magazines for my Colt Government model 380. All I am finding is in the $36.50 plus range for stainless. I ran across Metalform mags in stainless for $17.95. Are Metalform to be trusted in a carry gun? Do they make magazines for major manufactures?

I use them exclusively for my 10mm DE, and years ago they also made .22 for a Colt Ace conversion I have, great magazines never had a problem.

Metalforms are great. Right up there with MecGar imo.

I have some metal forms for my 9mm 1911, they work fine, however one is out of spec and doesn't drop free that one came with the gun

Metalform has been the OEM magazine manufacturer for Colt for a very long time.  I'd trust any of their magazines for carry.

Caveat: always test the magazines you carry before you carry them.

One of them perhaps. I know Checkmate makes (or at least used to make) Colt's 7-round 1911 magazines. Both metalform and checkmate are perfectly fine imo.
