I am looking for some more mags for my Marlin Camp 9, which uses the S&W 59 mags. CDNN usually has a fair selection, but I usually see a very low price on Eagle brand magazines, typically $5 a mag compared to $29 for an S&W manufactured one.
Any opinions?

Get the Smiths.
If not, try and find Meg-Gar's, you won't regret it.
I've had varied results with the Eagles.
Smith 9mm Stainless 14rnd $16.99
Mec-Gar 17rnd new $23.99
Mec-Gar lists these for $35ish.

My only experience with an Eagle was a stainless 1911 magazine; it cracked down the back (not along a weld) after only a few loadings. I've been happy with my Mec-Gars in every caliber.
Surprisingly, my roomie who had a Marlin Camp 9 had good luck with two RamLine S&W M59 magazines. That experience was probably not usual ; )
