Nailed it. After I told them though, they were all for it. Wanting to use it more and more, throw it, etc... We ended up running it over with a new VW Jetta.  It's about as clean as I could get it.
Hot water, Balistol, and Froglube Solvent were used. It still seems made a tad darker than the unused mag, and there are some parts of the follower that seemed a little stained. Taking pics now, then just have to upload them. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Another range day, and another 500 rounds or so put through the ETS beater mag (Had a couple buddies with me who were wondering why we kept reloading the same mag, lol.). I'm going to unpack and grab some food and after that, going to clean the beater inside and out and see what it looks like.  Sounds good Mike. I bey your buddies thought you were crazy until you explained it to them.... Nailed it. After I told them though, they were all for it. Wanting to use it more and more, throw it, etc...

Alright, these pictures are sort of big. I think the pictures look a bit cleaner than it seems in person.
The last 2 pictures are the same, just with positions switched in order to see if the light was having an impact on how the picture made the magazine look. Just like other times when it was impact tested or run over, after we ran it over today I had to do a little shaving with a knife. It still drops free and runs perfectly. Oh and it still couples perfectly despite that road rash. Edited to add: Just to clarify to anyone coming along this late in the post. These pictures are after a good cleaning of my beater mag I've been torture testing. (Run over by cars, suvs, trucks, bikes, 6 year old doing his best, throwing it, jumping on it, etc...) The cleaning was done after over 10k rounds with very little cleaning or aftercare. It was cleaned in hot water and cleaned with Froglube Solvent and Balistol.

Thanks Mike.
I think considering everything that poor mag has been through, it cleaned up pretty well. |

I am doing a series on my youtube channel called "Man vs Magazine". I have tested a number of mags so far, including USGI, Magpul, Lancer, etc. and I also tested a ETS magazine. I thought it would fail miserably. However, to my surprise it did MUCH better than I expected. Check it out.
Here is a video where I explain the protocol: https://youtu.be/g5yC1X05K9E Here is the ETS magazine: https://youtu.be/ri1xCHtfxHs Very - VERY - impressed with your product ETS! cheers tire iron |

We appreciate you testing our mag. I really enjoyed watching your test videos of all of the mags. Nice work. I also like your rig for dropping the mags. It's cheap, easy to make, and perfectly repeatable. Well done. I saw in the comments on your video that you are going to continue to run that mag in training to see how long it will continue to function. Check back in and let us know how it's doing... Thanks again! |

Adding a shameless pictoral review, not much that I can add about how great these magazines are, but some pictures about how they work with my 3-gun rifle.
What I like most is the reduced profile for 60 rounds (i.e. its not a tall Surefire or bulky drum), and it doesn't interfere with my BAD lever or any other components of the rifle. 
Keep up the great work ETS Group, looking forward to the Glock magazines to complement my G34 at matches! |

As many of you know, we are a bit behind schedule on the launch of our Glock mags. At some point ,in the middle of this project, we decided to add a few items to the mix. We knew this was going to add some time to the overall project, but due to the overwhelming response we felt the delay was well worth it. We will be posting pictures of some of these prototypes, note that all of these Glock mags will be made with the same smoke material as our AR15 mags and will also be compatible with all aftermarket floorplates for Glock mags. That said, we would like to tell you about some other mags we will be adding to our family of Glock mags.
First, the mags we already announced were the G17, G18 (32 round), G19, and G26. The new mags we decided to make are the G17 and G19 in 10 round models for restricted states. We also will be making some special mags for the TapLoader. The TapLoader is a new system for the Glock Platform that allows the user to release the slide, and chamber the first round of the mag by simply "tapping" the mag in when loading it. Upon initial release, the TapLoader will be available for the G19, with other models following shortly. We will also be making a 22 round, 9mm Glock mag that is 141mm long. Making it legal for several competitive shooters. This 22 Round mag is only slightly longer than a regular G17 mag and we believe it will fill the gap between the 17 round G17 mags and the 32 round G18 mags. Also, due to overwhelming requests, we decided to go ahead and take the plunge and make a .40 cal mag for the Glock platform. We will be releasing our mag for the G22 at the same time as our 9mm mag launch. We are very excited about these .40 cal mags and we will be following up with a few more .40 cal versions shortly. We want to thank everyone for their patience during this process. We expect the first production run to be shipping around the end of July. Dealers, please contact us now to get your orders in, the first production run is almost completely sold out. Below is a list of all of the Glock platform mags we will be making, and pricing. 9mm Models MSRP G17 $16.99 G17 (10 Round) $17.99 G18 (32 Round) $21.99 G19 $16.99 G19 (10 Round) $17.99 G19 TapLoader $19.99 G26 $16.99 9mm (22 Round) $21.99 .40 cal Models MSRP G22 $16.99 Here is the 22 round 9mm mag in a 141mm gauge 
Here is the 22 Rounder lying next to a G17 
Here is the 22 rounder in the G17 
Here is a picture of the little nub on the side of the mag to make the TapLoader function... http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a74/ETSgroup/TapLoader%20Mag_zpscofjykg4.jpg Last but certainly not least, here is the .40 cal G22 mag...

The 22-rounder sounds interesting. I have been using Arredondo "+5" base-pads for matches, but always worry about one bursting apart when dropping a mag on concrete. I really don't want to use the aluminum TTIs on concrete, either (especially at that price). If these are as durable as your AR mags seem to be, I don't think there will be any such issues.

Yeah, doing mag changes, even on concrete, and letting them drop should not be an issue. (other than some minor scratches of course). That's the bad part about those beautiful aluminum floorplates is they get dinged up pretty badly when dropped on hard surfaces. |

Those will be sweet in my G34 by the AR pics posted above. Hope you don't mind me shilling for you at matches, but your AR mags are all I use at 3-gun anymore. |

Is there any hope for ETS Colt Style 9mm AR magazines?
I'd love a poly mag that doesn't suck. (Sorry Promag) |
