I always wondered why Glock didn't release a reasonable length 9mm mag like they did with the 22 round .40 mags.
I saw these at Shot Show this year.
1. They are competition legal. Hence the odd round count, 21rds & 27rds.
2. They feel good in the hand. Insert easily.
3. They Drop free.
4. The finish on these prototype mags is not the production finish.
5. Should retail for around $25.00
6. Available late 2016?
7. Great for home defense and carry. The 21rd doesn't stick that much farther out than the 17rd magazine.
8. Yes . . . I should have put the 17rd in the frame for a size reference. I didn't think about it as I was very excited.
9. Finally, no more plus 5 mag extensions and wondering if the spring is going to work reliably

Because Glock.
To the best of my knowledge, they only produced the 22-round 40-caliber magazines in response to a demand by a certain unit for them (a certain unit that at least used to carry 40-caliber Glocks. Probably the same unit that the ALG Six-Second Mount was developed for).
Obviously, Glock has proven in the last year that they're not entirely deaf to the wants of the commercial market... but they also aren't entirely in tune with them, either.

The fact that these were announced like the day after the $42 Zev extensions has got to be a kick in the nuts for them...granted, you can buy a Zev extension now, and who knows when you'll be able to buy these.
+1. I have to think that Glock USA pretty well knows what we all want. I also get the feeling that Glock USA doesn't get to make any significant decisions without the approval of Glock Austria...and the US commercial market might as well be Martian to them. Contrast this with a company like CZ, where they seem to get to do whatever they want in the US without approval or significant input from the Czech mothership.

Yeah, they should have called them the Glock 9Lim and 9 Open.
They 19 and 17 mags are not all that much cheaper than factory mags.
But compared to factory mags plus baseplates plus springs these are going to be a steal.
Edit
CZ is very responsive to the market.
With Glock the aftermarket is responsive.
With beretta they bungle cluelessly along.
Wilson kicks them in the ass,
And they come up with crap and still don't get it. Plastic parts guns the same price as the brig Tac, FS model brigs and vertec so,
G models with unchangabke front sight, same with carry models.
Instead of paying Stoeger to shoot 92s in production and Langdon in SSP,
They continue to ignore uspsa,
And pay Langdon to pimp the fuvking PX series.
CZ is like the exception that proves the European manufacturers don't get the us market.
Which is what,
Like the only rich, sizable civilian market in the world.

One of the advantages of the existing (and new) extensions vs the extended GL9s is their added weight, along with the contours that can be used for holds/indexing. They'll remain very popular for gun gaming. However, I suspect those users aren't even a morsel of the market that the 21/27 will appeal to.
