    Had another mag issue at a match today. Double feed. Mag related. I’m dx’ing the magpul mags from the match rotation as it’s hurt me in two consecutive matches in different ways.

    The mag springs seem noticeably softer and the rounds come out with almost no pressure at times.

Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    My only experience is OEM, MagPul and Korean.

    Glock OEM mags have been flawless so far. We went Glock in the early 90s, with many thousands of rounds fired through 9MM, 40 S&W, 45ACP and 1000 or less 357Sig and 10mm.

    MagPul, so far so good. Still under 1K. G19 and G26 only. I love the looks and ergonomics of the G26 Magpul mag.

    Korean, total POS. Worst Ever - Stay Away.

    As I recall they work fine, but loading them was tricky and the rounds rattled. Using brass case has been flawless.
    They rattle in my 24rd factory mags, also.

    IMO, the Magpul mags are fine for training (I usually shoot brass). I’ll only use factory mags for carry or matches, though. They have completely different design. I do use a few Pierce (G26,G23) and Vickers (G42, G43) extensions, and they seem fine.

    I feel the same way about mags with my Berettas, because the followers are subtly different, which sometimes causes failures to lock back with certain mag types/brands.

    Magpul magazines have worked well in my 19’s and 26. No issues with brass cased ammo.

    Frankly, I find decent prices for Glock OEM magazines leaving me unmotivated to purchase anything else. If I had to try something different I would probably go for Magpul Pmags based on they're products reputation

    Pretty much this.

    I had two well used magpul g17 Mags. They looked normal but the lips would spread and when you fired in twos or burst, they would not feed properly and jam the gun. I noticed while loading the bullets tended to point up higher them normal. I got these Mags with my maxim 9 I did not source them. I feel like glock Mags are cheap enough I don't need to save money on something I want to carry. I don't have stockpiles of Mags but I do have plenty.

    Magpul is the closest to OEM quality, I've never had issues with any of mine.

    Magpul. My experience mirrors others here, they're 100%, less so with steel case. Only problems I've ever had.

    I'm doing my level best to wear out 2 17 rounders and a 21, as they are training mags. Hasn't happened yet, they're still 100%.

    Frankly, I think the feed lips will wear away before anything else. I'cm beginning to see the very start of that on 2 of these, but so far ni effect on function.

    This is in a variety of pistols.

    I have had nothing but good results with the 21 round and 15 round Magpul mags. They run great in my Glock 19 and AR pistol. The 27 round mags have weaker springs. Not as reliable

    Glock PMAGs are fine with brass ammo; with Steel Case they can easily start to induce malfunctions - basically there is more friction between the cases and the sides of the magazine, especially when dirty. To the point you can flick off the top round of ammo and count "1 potato, 2 potato" before the next round is in place - which of course causes failures to properly feed.

    Magpul told me to clean the mags and then lightly lube them to get better feeding from steel cased ammo - Sorry, "Ain't Nobody Got Time Fo Dat!".

    I have relegated my Glock PMAGs to training fodder and sold off the majority of the extras I had in storage, because when I can get OEM Glock mags for around $18 (before the panic) to $21 (today), I don't see the need to save $5 per mag when they WILL cause issues with steel cased ammo.
