I recently purchased a few Gen5 G19 mags for out of state travel to states with hi-cap mag laws. I haven’t seen much traffic regarding the Gen5 10 rounders, so I thought I’d share my testing results, given the spotty history of OEM Glock 10 round G19 mags.
The magazines sport the Gen5 base plate, with an orange colored 2183-2 follower. Witness holes indicate the rounds accurately, in the magazine tube. I was able easily load 10 rounds into each magazine without the need for a loading tool. The fully loaded magazines were easy to seat into my pistol with the slide forward. Given the reported issues some have had in the past, with Gen 3/4 G19 10 round mags, specifically with flat-nose profile ammo, I began my testing with (4) loads that I carry/shoot regularly. I utilized a Gen5 Glock 19 MOS, with EPS Carry RDS and TLR-7A.
100 rounds -Winchester Ranger-T 147gr 9mm
100 rounds -Gold Dot 124gr +P 9mm
40 rounds -Underwood 147gr +P hardcast coated 9mm
200 rounds -Winchester 115gr FMJ 9mm
Zero malfunctions/and or failures to feed with any of the rounds tested. I will continue to use the magazines in future testing and training, but so far so good.
