Polymer 80 Magazines

I can't guarantee that you'll get that 15th round in, but I use this for all my double stack mags now.

About $25
And watch out for counterfeits, the genuine is made in Israel.

I sure hope the ones I bought hold 17.

Get the optional accessory if needed...

I looked around online and it appears that they are going for $35 now, plus shipping. Guess I will check Sportsman's Warehouse next time I am there, maybe I can scoop one up and save shipping cost. That way, I can just load all my magazines before I head to the range and really make short work of Glock practice time.

I tested 4 of mine a few days ago. They ran fine, but seemed difficult to load to full 15 round capacity. Anyone else share similar, or is my arthritis from my knees and back creeping into my hands and fingers?

Same. The springs are pretty stiff out of the box, but they do seem to have lightened up a bit after sitting loaded a week or so. Of course... I cheat and use a maglula so it''s not all that prohibitively difficult.

"P"ro tip... Strike Industries EMP +5 works on a P80-PFC9-Mag-15 (Glock 19).
And the mags are still on sale back at 8.99.

Finally ran the 4 P80 G17 mags. Flawless, all around. Ran my new KKM G17 barrel with the 4 P80's and 3 Glock mags with a mix of cheap reman ammo, and Speer 124gr Gold Dot (time to swap out the defense ammo). Shot well...very well. No FTF, no issues. Zero.. Off topic, but my dear wife shot her G43x great, S15 mags also seem solid and very reliable. But...for $9.00 each at Midway, the P80's seem like winners. Get some as spares, at least, before the door slams. Very easy to recommend.

Those look better than Magpuls version. Interested!

Have you tried magpul? I'm in the market

Have you tried magpul? I'm in the market

Yup! For years and still own a bunch. Well... I should say... my kids do. I've tried several 3rd-party mags but haven't found any I cared to keep. They get passed down to the kids for range mags. I would say though that magpuls were at the top of the stack for my preferred 3rd-party.

The Poly80 mags are the first 3rd-party I intend to keep for myself (with the exception of the 2 one of the boys talked me out of) and went back to pick up a second larger quantity order than the first test run of 4 mags.

That said... they are for the 9mm's, which aren't a main carry/defense handgun for me. I Haven't had them long enough or run them hard enough to say I would trust them as much as an OEM, but they are pretty dang sweet and practically cheap as dirt.

I wouldn't hestitate to recommend them for those budget minded folks as a significant improvemnt over any other 3rd-party mag I've run across. I am still a solid believer though that, if it is at all practical, and in a primary defensive firearm.. OEM's are obviously preferrable. Or.. at least OEM's on your first 3 mag loadouts.

I have probably 10 of them. They work fine, but feel like cheap plastic crap. They aren't steel lined, so there's that.

Thank you… my choice first is factory for our primaries. I'm just starting to dabble in the "clone type platforms", and budget is the word.

Those poly80's are perfect then. Definately budget friendly and look, feel and perform nearly pretty much identically to OEM's. The test being "long term reliability", which I can't speak on, but so far they are highly impressive.

I've got some and they run fine. OEM only for duty, Magpul for the range, P80's...jury is out. The thing i like about the P80's is they're built like the Glock OEM; polymer over steel. Magpul is a synthetic mag, but it seems like a good one.

And quit looking for internet porn

Ummm I thought the internet was made for guns and porn... Social media is what freaks me out.

 

[Saladfarmer]

Only downside for me with the poly 80's is the ETS (stripper type) loader I use won't work since the poly 80 mag has an extra metal lip that sticks up at the projectile side of the mag. Which glock and all other glock compatible DO NOT have, SO the loader jams the cartridge projectile into that and jams and ruins my boolats in the process. So. Theyre ok for backup and price wise fine. OEM is always best for reliability especially if life dependent. Amend 2 has been my cheap go to's fo plinky plinky pew pew fun.

 

[DirectDrive]

Meh
Use a LULA mag loader

These are 10rounders, I don't understand the moisture levels here for a cheapie 10rnd mag, did I miss something?

You may be looking at the wrong listing. They have 15 and 17rnd (G19, G17) as well.

At the moment it looks like they are out of G17 17rnd mags, still have G19 15rnd (10rnd in both sizes) but all of them are marked "clearance" and the G17's 17rnd are "not available, one time run".

Makes you wonder if that's the end of them... for awhile(?)

You have to click the capacity to show both the 10 round AND the 15 round options.

 

[Koda]

I picked up a couple of 10rounders cause once (like... Probably Next year, also... Already banned in Wa.) standard mags are banned, tbe price of good 10 rounders will jump.
