Glock mag question

[Slater]

I realize that this is a pretty basic question, but I was always told "if you're not sure - ask". Will a Glock 19 mag fit a Glock 17?

[Belmont31R]

No but a 17 will fit in a 19. I have a few for my 19 and they work great. Stick out about an inch past the bottom of the frame. Better than the 19 mag extenders.

[Axcelea]

Nope.

[MacGyver]

It will not as the magazine is too short to reach far enough up into the magazine well. On the other hand Glock 17 magazines will fit a Glock 19.

EDIT: Well dang looks like 3 of us were typing at the same time.

No.

BUT

You can have the G17 frame trimmed to G19 length and then it will. Unofficially referred to as a G19L.

All of a sudden I have images of Dremels and saws whirring away in basement workshops.

There's quite a few people who have "made the cut" on their 17 to trim it down to 19 grip length and done it successfully. Do a search, there are a couple of threads here on M4C even if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for the responses. The reason I asked is that an online retailer has the Korean-made G-19 mags for $5 each (until later today). I wouldn't trust my life to them, but if they fit my G-17 I thought they might make decent range mags.

sounds like a good reason to get a G19
