Nice pair of Cutlass-M9-things. I have no idea what they're actually called, sorry, lol. I'm apparently not asian enough?

I know eh? It's pretty sweet looking - the more I look at it, the more I love it. Thinking of taking off the thumb rests for holstering-purposes... unless they actually fit in a Serpa clone.

As to the magwell, it is a ABS one made by TM. Haven't seen any ABS ones on the aftermarket market (that sounds redundant, doesn't it?). I've attached a pic of the Glock magwell with a standard G17 mag... I had thought that the special mags were special for a reason - they aren't, really. If you had to, you could still pry out a stuck mag. And it looks a little more streamlined with the flat-bottomed mag... unfortunately, I love the fact that the special ones have a baseplate that slides over to completely cover the fill valve (mud in fill valves is no fun - personal experience has taught me that much), and I already have the 4 special mags.




Edit: actually, on further messing around with both types of mags (sorry, Andres - I just had to try it), the special mags are a little easier to index out of a pouch and slam home. I like them more
