THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
i have a bunch with the 2183-1 follower. i got a new 10rd mag from glock that has a 2183 -2 follower. also the spring is a lot stronger than the older ones. reading the internet, it seems that people are saying replace the 2183-1 with regular 9mm followers. so should i be getting 2183-2's or regular 9mm followers for the 10rd mags

What exactly is the problem with the factory followers?
What would Henry Bowman do?

If you're not having any problems, don't change a single thing.

Some people experience failures to feed with the 10-round 9mm magazines that have some variation of 2183 follower, which can usually be fixed by using a newer variation of 2183 follower or by using 9mm3 followers. Supposedly there's a 2183-3 by now but I'm not sure.

Sometimes they get stuck in the mag. I've taken them apart and cleaned them. So 9mm3 will work?

last round 147 gr hp's sticking on the feed ramp with some of the 10 rd followers... I forget by now which followers will work in those mags. Probably is the 9mm-3 followers. Some of the newest followers won't work in the older mags.

I called Glock and they sent me some new followers. I was expecting the 2183-2 follower, but was sent the 9mm-3 follower. put them in for use in a match last weekend and they ran 100%. I'm curious why they even use a special follower anyways.
