Colt mags

[SemperFi1977m]

are they hybrid Colt mags or the ones with standard feedlips? I hear good things about the hybrid ones if you havent tried them

Haven't heard of the "hybrid" mags, but since these are not like anything I've ever seen I'll guess that's what they are. The follower is the main difference that I see:

thats a Check-Mate patented follower. Hopefully someone more knowlegable than me can chime in on what feedlips you have. They look like standard straight ones, but Im not 100% certain lol. The hybrid lips taper from narrow-to-wider as you approach the front of the mag if you are looking at it from above just like in your pic. The hybrid lips are suppose to give alot more of a controlled feed than Wilsons.

I just figured I would mention them to you in case you havent heard of them or tried one....I hear great things about the design and its controlled feed.

hope that helps

Doc, , just for clarity if you'll look at this wonderful example of bad photography, the mag on the left is a Hybrid, on the right is a modified Hybrid. The Colt mags you showed doc are standard lip mags, the third type is Wadcutter mags and they have shorter feed-lips than hybrids.

those are pics of his mags...which I didnt think were hybrids. Here's a borrowed pic of the hybrid lips (which you can order with either follower style if I remember correctly)
