I'm looking for a good reliable mag for my Kimber 9mm. I have some Tripps but I would like to find some with a flush fit baseplate.

I've had luck with Colt mags in an unramped barrel. I'm pretty sure they were Checkmate brand.  I don't know if they would perform differently in a ramped setup.

Metal form worked for me better than the checkmates

Checkmates have worked well for me.

Never had any trouble with the 7 I have, feed in my RIA just fine.

They are 9 rounds but I have one that has survived 3 or 4 years. It is the only flush one I have.
They used to be the OEM manufacturer for Colt.

I use Checkmates in my RIA 9mm GI, stainless steel and flush metal base. Not sure what they go for now but I think I paid $13 each from CDNN just a few years ago. No problems at all.

I've used the Kimber 9 rounders, they came flush base but I added a bumper. The Wilsons work well but I've never seen a flush base version. They may make them I just don't use them. The Chip McCormicks I just picked up from Midway come with the bumpers off, I haven't gotten to try those yet.
