View Full Version : Glock 17 Mags in Glock 19s?
I'm thinking about picking up a Glock 19 this month to fill the gap between my 5" 1911s and Beretta Brigadiers. On occasion, I'd like something high cap but easier to carry than a Beretta yet lighter than a 1911, and the G19 seems to fit the bill. At my LGS, I can get all the Glock 17 mags I could possibly want at a price that matches the best internet prices I see. Does anyone ever have issues running Glock 17 mags in the Glock 19? I hear sometimes that people will carry a G19 mag in the gun but G17 mags as spares, and I was wondering how that works out for them.
They work fine, nothing to worry about.
I actually have just a few glock 19 mags, all the others are g17 mags

They have worked great for me, I use OEM and Magpul G17 mags in my 19.

Works great, especially with a mag sleeve, provides for a better grip.

I carry my Glock 19 with a G19 mag with a Vickers/TangoDown base plate and a spare G17 with a Arredondo +6 base extension. No issues.
I carry my 19 with a 19 mag in the gun and a 17 (factory and magpul) mag as a spare. No issues.
Thats the beauty of the midsize (G19 size) guns: compatability with midsize and fullsize mags.

So this rock you live under, is it gas or central?
:D
Yes. Even from me, I'm not a Glock guy, full size mags work perfectly in the 19. Same with 22 mags in the 23.

Is this a joke?

I did this just this afternoon. And the G19 will take the 33round mag just for shits.
I understand "compatible", and have owned a Glock before. I've also watched Glock 17s choke with the 33 round mags at 3 Gun. "Compatible" is not always "optimal". Glad to see it will work. Thanks for all the help.

You sir, have won today.
OP, the G17 mags will work.
All G19 mags in the house reside in the dark depths of my safe, sans the two used in my and my wife's carry pistols.
