I'm looking at getting a GHM9, and I would like to get the best, most durable magazines, as I hear the standard B&T ones are not ideal. Suggestions? Beretta PMX? KCI?

Additionally, does anyone have any pictures showing the size comparisons of the 20, 25, and 30 round magazines compared to each other, but also compared to a standard AR magazine?

Finally, what are some magazine carrier suggestions, such as pouches, placards, chest rigs, and bandoliers?

Thank you!

So have I.   All I buy now, thought I do have a bunch of the B&T ones and some of the Beretta Mags which I still need to try.

I have several of the KCI ones, they worked fine (and were much cheaper).

But ultimately i still used a Linger lower and swapped to Scorpion mags.

For my purposes, I need to stick with straight magazines with this project, so that's not an option. Neither are the straight, but angled Glock magazines. Need to use regular the B&T style lower.

Best pouches I have are ESSTAC and HSGI (SMG, deeper pouches). Best chest harness is from Unobtanium. There are others, but just about any pouch/chest rig that will fit Glock mags will fit B&T Mags.

I have a few of these bandoleers for SMG mag pouches:  https://www.olongapooutfitters.com/equipment-and-gear/9mm-grab-and-go/. They're out of stock right now, but a good value when available.

Strictly for cost measures
The KCI mags can't be beat.
I added 3d printed bumpers to mine

Although my GHM9 looks best with a B&T 25 rounder
