Yeah, that is definitely a problem. Thanks for taking the time to take the pictures and post all of this information. I am following this thread closely.

I agree. Out of all the glocks I've ever owned, I've never seen anything that sloppy. These mags may shoot well today but who knows what will happen when you need them tomorrow.

Quick update-
Got a couple mags sitting here over the weekend loaded, will see what happens if they settle in or whatever.
Called Glock, will be sending in any obvious or suspected defectives for evaluation at some point next week.
Crossing my fingers that maybe I'll get out to shoot a bit this weekend.

You did not say where you bought them from. Gun show or other unscrupulous place could have swapped them out for knock-offs.

I'm very sure they are genuine- got them from a reputable source here.

How do you determine they are defective without using them first?

The front view on that one mag showed the follower popping up very far out of the mag. A normal mag shouldn't look like that. I'd take them back to. I wouldn't trust those mags either. If I spend money on new mags they should start off looking like the other mags that are proven to be reliable. I'm not going to pay for a new mag just to have to question its reliability and send it straight to the training pile. In that one picture it looks like the follower is going to pop right out of the mag.
