The new Colt online catalogue shows a 9mm AR-15. Don't know how long that has been available.
Does anyone have experience with one of these? Who makes the magazines and how hard are they to get? |

I have a fair amount of time with Colt 9mm. Excellent out of the box, and I'm not a Colt "fan boy". Metalform makes the Colt mags, and they're excellent. ASC/C Products are hit and miss. I have 4 that work perfectly, a few others that are iffy. Avoid ProMag. If you buy a new Colt, check the barrel nut. Last 3 in my hands have been loose.
My current Colt has a Troy 13" rail and an Eotech. May be the "funest" range gun ever. All pistol/rifle steel is hit from 12-50 yards. A blast on the Texas Star! If you reload 9mm, it's even better. |

Then or shortly afterwards, civilian semi auto versions became available. A number of other makers have been making clones of the Colt 9mm system, or similar offerings of different design, continuously. |

Only 30 years since they started making them. ASC, Colt, Metalform, C-products and promag make mags for them. Only the first 3 listed are worth a damn (note than many other companies offer metalform under their own name IE PSA, brownells, rra, ect..) |
