Aftermarket Glock Mags

[arakboss]

I am looking at purchasing some aftermarket Glock 9mm magazines for both G17 and G19 size frames. These would be for range use. Which brands do you recommend?

Glock.

Kci are OK.
Magpul and ETS too

 

[fstdraw]

ETS is what I use for 33 rounders, no problems....except they may be illegal soon!

SHK 33 rounders from Global Ordnance for $8 each. Might be a good idea to have some Wolff springs on hand if you have any troubles.

OEM. When its not a panic going on the price on them is well worth it. I doubt you could ever wear one out and they just work in everything that takes Glock mags.

OEM of course. Magpul are great too. Shadow Systems swears by them. I do like the ETS sticks.

I've always had great success with magpul... so long as you're talking strictly for range use.

Those new metal lined polymer80 mags have been doing incredibly well for me, too. The caveat there is that being a new offering I don't have any long term reliability stats to go on. "So far"... so good, though.

KCI and ETS... yeah... they're cheap but from my experience they have been really hit and miss. Too finicky and unlreliable for my blood.

It may not matter on the range so much, but IMHO, why waste money on range only mags if they aren't at least suitable enough for SD backups as well.

OEM's... I see some G17's for $20 at blackphoenixcustoms, in stock.

G19's brownells has em for $21.99, in stock. Looks to be a flat $10 $15 off discount code so with shipping... half a dozen comes to $20.74/ea. Shipping is the same for up to 8mags.

I might have to think about that, myself. Dang it....!

A good sale on pmags though... $10~ish. Nothing to cough at.

Updated amounts. Code change on checkout for $15 off. "4YOU"

I use a lot of aftermarket mags, the exception is with Glock. If they are available and anywhere close in price there is no reason not to buy the real deal.

Oh, I did just pick up 1 aftermarket mag before the WA standard cap mag ban happened. I got a 50rd Magpul drum that fits rifles.

+1 for Magpul PMAGs
ETS mags are not as reliable. Also the clear polymer ones look cool but they tend to get coated inside with GSR after a few shots and quickly lose their coolness.
But for best measures, it's Glock OEM. Nothing is better.

 

[Knobgoblin]

+1 for Magpul PMAGs
I tried the ETS mags before and had nothing but problems with them. They were the clear polymer ones. I would avoid them. They look cool but the followers tend to bind, and the clear shell gets coated inside with GSR after a few shots and quickly lose their coolness.
But for best measures, it's Glock OEM. Nothing is better.

Ets is definitely not something I'd stock up on. Just seems like you might actually find some in stock.
They ( previously, lol ) seem to be available cheaper on the secondary market. $10 or less per mag and I'll just run them till they break. Any clear mags I've ever owned have broken after awhile, especially if they get to much sun.

ETS mags blow. Magpul are good for the range. OEM if you can.

They are all garbage in my book. OEM mags are some of the least expensive factory mags out there and the just plain work, why anyone would consider anything else, even for "range mags" is beyond me. And WTF is this "range mag" BS anyhow? Do you really want less than reliable mags for range use? I know I don't, if I want to do malfunction clearance drills that is what dummy rounds are for.

How many mags per gun ?
Average

No such thing as too many mags.

 

[Knobgoblin]

No such thing as too many mags.

Totally agree.
I have maybe 30+ factory glock mags .
17/19 /26 for 3 glocks. Add to that half a dozen kci , 2 or 3 magpul, 2 or 3 ETS.
Figure 10 mags per gun with a handful of "trainers " , spares , whatever.

If someone is playing catchup ,and wants quantity, the spares make sense.

Check around ETS mags can be found dirt cheap I got a few 30 rounders for my HK . They are a pia to load but do work sometimes they don't hold open on last round fun range mags !

How do you know if you're a cheap basstid ?
Answer :
You won't buy genuine Glock mags.
