Hot diggity. Gonna stock me up some G19 mags after I get my hands on their G17s as well.
Kudos to Magpul.
I find it interesting there are so many complaints about the lack of witness holes when so many of us run AR mags with no windows. Am I missing something here?
Reads a lot, posts little.
People like the option? I don't see the big idea personally. Most witness holes to me are too small to be practical beyond administrative tasks. That could be me and I could be just using them wrong. But, also remember human nature. People have to have something to bitch about, because if there is no complaining then mutiny is likely brewing.

I just received 6 of the GL9 17 mags from rainier arms and 2 had feeding issues and allowing the slide the fully slam home. Apparently, MagPul is aware and shipping out replacement bodies that have had the issues taken care of with retooling.

If non-OEM includes Mec-Gar, then I fear there may be an issue here.
I have no problem trusting Mec-Gar magazines for SiGs, Berettas, and BHPs. But then again, Mec-Gar is the (or a) OEM producer for some or all of these companies magazines.
In any case, we may soon be reaching the point where OEM magazines are not the best magazines out there.
Although I suppose that this depends in large part on whether or not one calls Magpul's AR PMags OEM, considering the plethora of rifles (AKs, SR-25s, AR-15s) that ship with them nowadays.
