These aren't RRA mags. RRA use modified Uzi. These are polymer mags made by Pro Mag. A company with a less than stellar rep for their mags. These cost about $12 bucks in the states and it seems that this is about the only reason that people use them.
Original reports on these mags were poor. The bodies would swell too much when fully loaded (doesn't really concern us) and I believe I heard some #####ing about the feed lips.
They were revised after that and everything I've heard about them since is that they may look cheap, flimsy and ugly but they will work fine.
I have no personal experience with these mags, just reporting what I've heard so take it with a grain of salt. I did look at some at Epps (5/32) and wasn't impressed with them at all, certainly not worth $50 in my opinion. But if you want to use 10 rounds than they are the only game in town (for now).
TSE, are the C-products mags going to be lanced? I'd much preffer the modified floorplate method, or pinned. Will these be avaible as 10/20 and 10/32?

- First, the ProMags are $26.00 US (see the ProMag website for confirmation). At currency exchange right now that's $31.20 Canadian
- Second, there are costs involved to get the magazines "pinned" for importation to Canada
- Third, there are costs to get the export permits to be able to export the magazines from the US to Canada.
- Fourth, there are costs to actually ship the magazines to Canada, clear them through Customs, etc.
- Fifth, there was considerable cost involved, and over 6 months spent, getting approvals and classification confirmation from CFC and the RCMP to allow these magazines to be imported and sold in Canada
- The cost of the magazines consists of more than just the base unit itself... please don't forget that.
The polymer magazines work very well and are widely used, here and in the US. Bushmaster ships the polymer magazines with all of their 9mm pistols and rifles.
The C-Products magazines are Stainless Steel and they are lanced. As of a week ago DFAIT refused to issue an import permit for them stating they are classified as "Prohibited Devices"... They are NOT approved for 10 rounds here in Canada.
A little defensive aren't we? Relax,
I'm sure that if the C-Products mags are engraved similar to what you have done with the ProMags than they could get approved. Even if they don't I would rather have pinned 5/32rd mags, as I believe when they eventually come in to Canada they will have similar pricing but be an incredibly superior product.
If people want to use these for the novelty of having legal ten rounders than that's their perogative. I was speaking to the level of quality as opposed to actual pricing. I think that most people here know that mags in Canada are expensive due to all of the extra work that must be done to get them here.
