    I'm no injection molded mag follower engineer, but the C-Products follower looks like a pretty blatant knock-off to me.

    Eye of the beholder! Sure they have the same basic shape, but just how different can a mag follower be? I can count numerous points of difference between the 2.

    ETA: What matters most to me is which one works the best.

    The MagPul works, it was first, and it is cheap, so I ain't changing it.

    Like I said my eye isn't refined enough to be able to distinguish much if any significant difference between the two. If you compare the Magpul to the original USGI follower it replaced their is a pretty distinct difference.

    It's not like we are comparing a Chevy Tahoe and a Ford Expedition and saying "How much difference can their be between two fullsize american SUV's?" This is more like looking at a Chevy Tahoe and a GMC Yukon.

    But between the Magpul and C-Products, it looks to me as if C-Product took a look at the Magpul follower they had been offering in their own mags, and said, " I wonder if we can set up tooling to make almost the exact same thing, but since they've done all the design and testing work, it won't cost us near as much?"

    Not saying that's the case, just saying that's what it looks like to this unedumicated bumpkin's eye....

    Didn't mean to imply you did. Sorry.

    Bingo. There are no substantive differences between the two. There are minor cosmetic or moulding differences but the shape and form and everything is exactly the same. Even the color is the same as the MP Gen 2 safety ones. (They could have at least chosen pink or blue or purple to avoid confusion).
