Scratching my head trying to figure out why? Other then price(which makes sense their costs are less to make mags) I don't see how they can be any more reliable then factory mags.  This. Maybe if they drop to no more than $15 OTD, but I am willing to pay more for the steel liner, especially if they are close in price to an OEM. |

While I don't normally rush to embrace new products (especially those that can affect function) before they are vetted, I think it is safe to say that I'd trust Magpul enough to buy at least three for T&E and IDPA/USPSA use.

Around here 17 and 19 mags run about $35 and they're never in stock. If the shelves are full of cheap P-Mags they'll fly off the shelf just because of the "fuck it" appeal.
Also somebody floated the idea that they might be trying to corner the British Military contract for their new G17's since they already supply their rifle mags. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

If vetted and proven reliable - I'll get 10 g17 mags and 10 g19 ones (once released).
FDE is a plus. Magpul puts out quality kit. |

Someone in another thread mentioned that these might be targeted, at least in part, on foreign military sales. I think that's a strong possibility. Magpul makes a G36 magazine which is also targeted toward foreign military sales for example. One particular example might be the UK where they're transitioning to the G17, and Magpul already has a vendor relationship with UKMOD for rifle mags for their SA80 rifle and the LMT marksman rifles. If they can undercut Glock's price on magazines by even a few dollars per mag, that makes a difference to someone buying say 150,000 mags.
They also tooled up for the 6.8 PMag for a particular foreign contract without much prospect for significant domestic sales. |

It's about time. The lack of reliable mags is the only thing that has been holding the Glock 17 back from widespread acceptance.
Am I the only one that doesn't get the excitement over this news? I mean, I like p-mags as much as the next guy, but I don't really see the point of Magpul Glock mags. They don't add any value (more reliable, extra capacity) over the factory mags, and it isn't like factory mags are expensive. I'd much rather spend $20 for a factory mag. |

While I agree with your points, from a business standpoint it make perfect sense. There are only cheap shitty chinese alternatives to the otherwise higher priced OEM glock mags. Until these Magpul glock mags hit the market, Glock is the only real horse in town. By introducing a lower priced option coupled with their already stellar reputation, Magpul is once again attacking a new market. I am sure they will be successful. Personally I will most likely pick up 1 or 2, but the majority of my Glock mags will be steel lined OEM. |

As I said in other threads this is huge depending on how you look at it. For the consumer it saves some money. Instead of paying $30-35 for a OEM at some LGS (mind you most consumers only by 2-4 mags at the most) you would be able to buy a few more. So is this a game changer for the consumer no but gives an opportunity to buy something else vs before only OEM
It is a game changer to any LGS. It allows any LGS to have a better turn around and more product out the door. Even if they have the Glock mags at $30 a piece vs magpul at $15 what do you think will go first? But as I also said it depends on reliability. |

I know my department just ordered several thousand G17 mags to kit out every officer with an extra "active shooter kit" of 3 mags. If we'd known about these we'd probably have torture tested 20-30 and then if they passed ordered 5 Magpul Glock mags per officer instead of OEM for the kit. |

I'm optimistic about them working reliably, but I'll test a couple mags before buying very many. |

Magpul can put out orange, green, blue, FDE, ODG, or battleship gray mags all day long without even changing anything other than the polymer color. They can open up a very large market, since all black guns are evil.

Nobody is saying to use the longer mag as your carry mag, we are saying after you fire that first short magazine, more rounds are much better for a reload because if you have to go to that second mag, you are having a very, very, very bad day and more rounds will be far better than less. |
