Has anyone tried the Korean 9MM Glock drums?

[wired]

I got one of these 50 round drums in the other day for my 9MM AR pistol. $50. Hard to beat the price. Anyone tried one? Its the easiest thing in the world to load but do they shoot ?

Where did you get that, now I want one!

 

[uscsoldier]

You own one, go shoot it and tell us

Just got it yesterday. Classic arms . $55 shipped. Very, very tight in the AR lower and just right in the Glock. Really does load easy . Much easier than a Glock stick mag.

I have a few of their sticks, and they don't work very well at all. Usually 3-4 jams in the 33 rounds.

Yeah im not sure they are apples to apples with the drums. I wont use the stick mags either.

For $50 I can get 2 OEM 33 round Glock mags. I know they work.

Shoot fine (~1000r so far) in PSA 9mm, g19g4, g19g3, g17g4. Does not work with g17g4 in roni setup.

Lol I kept waiting for a dirt bike or Jeep or something to come over that hill and come down that road they are shooting next too

Since I too just recently picked up an AR9, I have been looking for magazine deals.
I have an ad up on Armslist to buy 3-4 spare mags for my AR9, so I don't have to use a credit card (my wife prefers that I not use credit cards to buy stuff). If anyone has some spares laying around, I have a little bit of cash.

I personally bought 2 SGM 33 round mags and though I have only had my AR9 out once, it had no failures to feed.

The Korean mags can be had for $7 for the 17 rounders or $12 for the 33 rounders. The drums are $50
KCI Magazines

Other good deals, which arguably be better choices:

Karri's Guns has the 31 round ETS mags for $13 each
ETS Glock 9mm 31 Round Magazine Bulk

Botach Tactical has been running sales on ETS mags for $15 each, and I think they are selling real Glock mags at a discount right now also
ETS Advanced Polymer Translucent Glock Magazines

New Frontier Armory has decent prices

Ive got a dozen or so 30 plus round glock maks. I really like the ETS though. Cheap and they work.

Been tempted to try the drums for my PCC's. Every review seems to show failures. That last one here did make it look like KCI has at least tried to improve. Having tried the SGM and the ETS the only thing that always works in my PCC's is Glock so far. After the election people must have had a train car load of them since all of a sudden they started selling at prices I had not seen in a very long time. So got a lifetime supply of the 9mm 33 round. Would still like to get some in .45 and 10mm that are more than factory capacity.

I have 60 round Magpul AR drum mag it's not easy to load it and it's heavy I also have a few 22 round 40 Cal mags for my Glock they work just fine

I just tried my Korean 9mm drum in my PSA AR-9 build and it's not fitting......hummmmm.....fits in my G26 just fine.....

 

[Josh89]

Haven't had a problem with mine yet probably 500+ rounds and have left it load for a month+ at a time.

 

[2Wheels4Ever]

I will second ETS. I have 4 and none of them have jammed yet.

 

[loofa]

I have several KTS 17 and 33 round mags that work great in my DB9R. Glock and ETS are also fine. I also have a KTS and Magpul drum that I haven't yet tried. Seems like I paid a lot more than $50 for the KTS drum just a few months ago.

 

[clearconscience]

I had several g17 kci mags. Some would only hold 10-12 rounds.
Never even fired from them, I heard enough bad stuff I just got rid of them
