Oh heck yeah!. $7 cheaper than factory and legal is dumbass Colorado. Gonna get me a whole bunch.

Oh my! I must have a few for my G19!

(please say the base plates are easier to remove than OEM Glock mag base plates)

Looks like they will be easy to remove.

[kenny256]

I will def be picking up some of these! Came out just in time for my new G19!

[7.62NATO]

Let's see if Magpul will manage to release these without any MAG 17 GL9-like glitches.

[K1tt3n5]

Very pleased with mine for the 17.

[DirectTo]

Nice! I didn't even know they were in production.

My Magpul 17 mags have become range trainers since I can beat on them all I like and save my stack of Glock mags for carry duty. I imagine these will do the same.

[R0CKETMAN]

Yep...fine for the range, but I'd never carry them..."feeding glitch" are words I don't like in a new mag

[Joelski]

I thought they did a pretty good job of correcting the feed issue on the 17. MagPul has some issues ( the biggest IMO, being the inability to use a standardized fastener head size across their line), but I don't think this will be one, being mags are their primary gig.

[Dozer]

All magazines have the correct geometry and have been performing very well.

[C4IGrant]

Got our shipment in!

Looking to pick up a few for range use, any reports regarding their experience with the new g19 mags?

[Knorth]

A guy at my range had the G17 and it looked good and ran fine. He likes them. I will pick up a few of the G19 mags and give them a go.

[Up1911fan]

My 17 mag's have been working well, I just ordered a couple 19's to try out.

[Bluto]

I don't really get this one... I love Pmags, but don't see the appeal of these. Pmags replace aluminum with polymer, a clear difference. These are still polymer and without the metal lining. Weight isn't an issue and factory mags are reliable enough.

With factory magazines going for $25 (and even $20 on sale), I don't see the benefit just to save $5. If they were $10 or if one was to buy a case at a time, sure, but just buying a handful to save a few bucks?

I'm trying to love these as much as Pmags, but can't... What am I missing here?

[jschmitt08]

I may be in the minority here, but are there plans for any .40 cal mags?

Where do you get factory Glock 19 mags for $20? I bought three Magpul G17 mags for $43 and free shipping, that's pretty damn hard to beat.

Someone always has them on sale. This week it's Natchez:

Fair enough. I have plenty of Glock mags so I really hadn't been keeping up with prices. Last time I bought any they were still at $30. Still, another source doesn't hurt, especially at a slightly cheaper price.

Got my 2x 15 rounds in today from Brownell's. When cycling dummy rounds they seem to have no issues and lock back on the last. I should be able to shoot them tomorrow or Wednesday to make sure they run with live ammo.

[bigghoss]

Even at $5 a mag, if you're the type of person that buys 10-20 mags or more per gun that is a significant savings. And even if you only buy a few five bucks is five bucks and you can be reasonably confident that the magpul mags will work or if they don't that magpul will make it right. Two options, both work, one is less expensive. Why not get the one that costs less?

[ST911]

I now have rounds through a batch of G19 pmags. Brief thoughts:


They are longer than OEM G19 mags, by another floorplate height. Inserted in a G19, the overall height is as tall or a smidge taller than a G17 without a mag. That's with the standard G19 pmag, not the overmold model.
They ship with the same springs as in the G17 pmag, 11 coils. Accordingly, they're a little stiffer to load than the G17 pmag. A curious departure from OEM, which is 9 for G19, 10 for G17, option for +1 coil each for WMLs or OEM XP needs.
Witness holes are true.
Reliable in G19s, no use in G26s yet.
No damage from concrete drops yet.

[Ironman8]

Would you guys consider these (G19 & G17) reliable enough to carry or only for range use?

[26 Inf]

Are you speaking of the full mag witness marks, or has there been a mod?

I've have 6 pmags for my 17's, they are working good, I've been thinking about drill a witness hole in the back for a half capacity check.

I kind of had a 'hmmm?' moment when I read the info on the L=plate and its rubber overmold for impact resistance. I've found that factory Glock mags are virtually indestructible in terms of mag drops onto concrete, partial or full.

[ST911]

Full mag, sorry.

I'm currently carrying them in my g19.

[Yojimbo]

I'll be sticking with Glock OEM mags. The floor plate on the Magpul G19 mag is huge. Why did they make them like that?

[KingsideRook]

Purely a guess on my part, but I would guess it's to allow space for the long 11 coil spring in the tube. If that leads to better spring performance - longevity, more consistent spring pressure from first to last round, etc, I can live with it. Heck, people like Larry Vickers might be able to stop having to recommending downloading them by 1 round, like with OEM mags. I've got 15 of them (PMAG GL9 15) right now, all seem to be easy to seat fully loaded on a closed slide. Haven't wrung them out hard yet, but initial performance is 100%.

[gibsonsg05]

I'm gonna have to pick up a few. Seems like a good value.

The mag isn't enough longer to need more spring. I suspect it's a matter of keeping common parts. I'm going to put some OEM 9-coil springs in some shared pmags and see what happens, just for curiosity.


Heck, people like Larry Vickers might be able to stop having to recommending downloading them by 1 round, like with OEM mags.

My practice is conditional. If the mag is hard to seat full, download -1. In 9mm OEM it's not an issue. As I recall, the most common mag benefiting from it has been the G23.

I keep hoping to break my G17 mags, and have given them to some pretty careless shooters to help with that. So far, so good.

[punkey71]

Just an FYI

Botach (yeah, I know) just got the Magpul G19s back in stock for $13/ea if you buy 5 or more.

The magazine was not made longer to keep common parts, it is slightly longer to reliably accommodate the 15th round while allowing the mag to seat consistently on a closed slide.

As noted, sometimes the last round can be difficult to insert on a factory Glock magazine. The reason for this is that the spring goes "solid" depending on tolerances, and there is no more room between the coils for compression. Some factory mags do it, some do not. When this happens the top round cannot depress enough to allow mag catch engagement on a closed slide. Think tac reloads/topping off the gun.

We gave it a tiny bit more room (approx. .20) to make sure this is not an issue with our magazines. I personally have seen this on some G19 mags, but have noticed it is far more prevalent on G23/27 and 26 magazines. I don't think I have ever had a factory G26/27 mag that could seat at capacity on a closed slide, and the majority of them won't hold that 9th (.40) or 10th (9mm) round respectively.

An added bonus for shooters with larger hands is that the magazine can be seated without having to alter your grip to get your palm out of the way, and a serrated lip allows for easy stripping of magazines and positive retrieval from mag pouches.

The factory Glock mag is a great magazine. As such, if the 1/5" added length is an issue that is an excellent choice.

[SeriousStudent]

I bought four of the G17 mags. I ran them in a class a week ago with no issues. I deliberate ejected them onto the asphalt when doing mags changes - none of them broke. Round count was right at 450 rounds over 2 days. (This was a precision class with mostly headshots, not a "mow 'em down" class.)

I took the mags home, loaded them up, and dropped them loaded on my concrete driveway from a height of 5 feet. Each was dropped 10 times on the base, and 10 times on the feedlips. Only one magazine had chipping on one of the feedlips, and it did not affect the function how it fed rounds.

One of my neighbors is a reserve PD Sergeant. he saw me dropping the mags, and walked over He is going to take one of the mags to the range next week, and use it to qual with.

He was able to finally break one of the four mags. He hurled a loaded mag at a stone fence from about 8 feet. The second time it struck base pad first, and the base pad dislodged, ejecting the rounds and spring onto the ground. The follower did stay inside the mag body.

So yeah, they seem pretty durable to me. That was some pretty heinous (for me) testing that I would never do with my range mags, let alone my carry mags, which are babied as much as possible.
