MagGuts

[Brimstone]

Has anyone used the MagGuts spring kit in their small single stack enough to judge reliability? Being able to fit an extra round is very appealing, but I don't want to jeopardize reliability.

I have about 500 rounds mostly FMJ, Freedom Munitions, and Wolf, half a box of Federal Hydroshock HP through my glock 42 mag with magguts setup. So far, zero malfunctions. Every gun is different, so make sure you test it thoroughly before carrying, but so far so good for me.

Good to know. Thanks for the reply.

I believe I will order some and test them out. I have been putting a lot of rounds through the Shield as I have been transitioning to it as my primary carry weapon. Any problems should present themselves in the first couple of weeks.

I had 10 of the Magguts kits for my two G42s. I had persistent premature lockback issues on the first gun even after a trip back to GA. About a 2-3% stoppage rate. Also had the same stoppages on the second G42 at about the same rate. This was with a variety of brass cased factory ball. The second G42 just came back from GA and I have not been out with it yet. Bottom line, I cannot state that the magguts kits had any impact on reliability, good or bad, due to the two G42s being so full of fail. If I can get the newer one to run 100% (minimum 2000 rounds with zero stoppages of any kind) with the OEM mags I will try the magguts kits again to see how they perform. I have G43 inbound and plan on trying magguts kits once the pistol can prove itself. This has been frustrating for me after owning a Gen 2 G19 that went well over 10K rounds with zero stoppages.

Our are Glock LE rep has been running 2 g42 mags with the first gen magguts innards for about 1500 rounds with no issues at all. Bought some for my wife's 42. No issues in the first few hundred rounds to report.

I don't think it worth messing with OEM mags to gain 1 round.

YMMV.

This......I don't bet my life on my amateur modifications.

Lounging around in the 1911 world most of my life, I agree. Most 1911 mags and "kits" that add one round without increasing tube length are the most likely to fail. I would wager that most OEM semi-auto manufacturers push capacity to the bleeding edge because thats what folks want... capacity.

Unless you test them and they work

These aren't 1911's we are talking about. 1911 are inherently unreliable. The magguts work. Plain and simple.
