It appears that uzi mags are convertable. I also have a Colt Sporter in 9mm. Although I have a couple of dozen 20 and 32round factory Colt mags I aquired a few non factory mags. These sem to have been converted from IMI magazines as that are stamped IMI on the floorplate. The magazines do not hold the bolt open. The magazine retention hole is in a different location from the uzi. In addition the rear of the magazine lip is cut deeper to allow the colt ejector to clear. They work fine and have never failed me. I primarily use these mags for practice. I use the real Colt mags for class and (Hopefully not) home. Out of my four AR's this is my favorite. It operates as easily as a .22 rifle. Once converted you can't use them in an Uzi.
