found a guy that has these for sale as .380 M11/M12 mags including full auto. is that what they are? are they small or large mag well?
thanks.

Those are pistol magazines that have been murderfied to "kinda" work in an M11-380 with the "small" mag well. Might work out well enough in a semi gun and will certainly help build up your finger muscles as you will get plenty of practice clearing jams. They were useless in my M11-380. Only bought the one and it was plenty easy to get rid of them too. So go ahead and try one... somebody will be willing enough to get it from you later.

A: it might work
B: You'll get stronger fingers

Nothing to lose. Win-win situation...

shattered,
thanks for the feed back. sounds like they'd be more trouble than they're worth.
to bad, if these are the same size as the small/narrow mag well mags. i have one of those odd small mag M11a1's and because it doesn't take the larger zytels the mags are getting very expensive. this guy only wants $40 for three.

They "can" work if you tweek them. They are just poorly constructed and dont last very long because the metal is thin and soft. My experience with these is in semi auto guns. The magazines themselves come from western/national magazines. I think in the long run your better of getting the newly made m11a1 m12 magazines built on the original tooling....even though they cost a lot more they will last longer in the end.
