Magpul Glock mags?

**jtc556** · 05-02-13, 08:36

I have no knowledge of the legalities, but has Magpul considered making Glock magazines?

What for?

If it takes a magazine and there are a decent number of them in existence, we've probably at least taken a look at making magazines for it. Lots of things don't make it past that stage. Some do. Can't really talk about what's in the development or R&D pipeline, but yes, we've looked at the Glock platform.

OP- What changes would you like to see in the OEM magazine that could make an aftermarket solution viable?

I'm not the OP but cost would be the biggest thing for me. Having a glock mag (17 rnd) that costs 3 times as much as a 30rnd AR mag kinda sucks. Makes it much harder to stock up on them. 14 dollar reliable glockpmags would be awsome! Even if i only used them for training.

19 round 9mm mags is another thought, with so many people putting plus twos on a mag, then getting extra long springs it seems to be silly to pay nearly 50 dollars for one 19 round glock mag.

My interest is purely economical.
I have no complaints with the OEM magazines, except that I never have enough.
If it is beneficial for Magpul to make Glock mags at a competitive price and chances of it being a quality product are pretty dang good, why not?

That is encouraging. Thanks.

I think one of the reasons why the glock mags cost more is because of the steel liner. Not that this is worth the $20 price difference.
