I think I heard Magpul will eventually make replacement ranger floor plates for it. Do not remember which Shot video it was. I just want to load up on the mags.

Why go with Magpul when you can buy factory Glock on sale for $20?

Well, if they work as my other Magpul mags work, and the floor plates come off as easy as they show in the video for cleaning, which I hardly ever do because it's such a PITA with Glock mags....
And I hope Magpul comes out with 10 round g42 mags! |

Never had any problems with Glock factory mags. Don't intend to switch. Neither have I. But I'd be willing to bet that these Magpul mags will be every bit as reliable as the factory mags are. Not to mention they'll probably be $15 and cheaper after initial release. I've never been lucky enough to find factory 17 rnd mags for $20 or under. |

id like to try a magpul glock mag, if they are as reliable as a pmag, that would be a good thing, and i have high hopes they will be.
i had a bad experience with an aftermarket mag years ago, it worked fine with empty testing, but when you filled it full of rounds, it expanded and was difficult to get in, and was difficult to pull out while it was loaded. after that i only ever bought factory mags. |

I couldn't see Magpul releasing anything less than as close to perfect as possible. That just isn't Magpul. I believe I remember reading or watching a video with them saying they fired thousands of rounds through single mags with no problems. Of course, a hand full of testing is nothing compared to when thousands of people get their hands on them, but still. It's Magpul. They won't throw crap products out there. Their name is one of the top in the gun industry and they aren't going to sacrifice that for one product launch. |

I'm not a Magpul fanboy, although I bought a MIAD grip kit 9 years ago, and I think I'm up to 4 Pmags now....and about 100 USGI aluminum and a few Stainless. I'm genuinely excited that they're getting into the game. I'd imagine you'll be able to get these to your door for less than $15, and there will be no searching for a deal. I'm most excited about the floorplate design. I pocket carry my spare mags and fucking HATE trying to get my G21 mags apart for cleaning. The G17 seemed even stiffer with the shorter mag body, so I figured I wasn't going to clean them and ultimately stopped carrying the G17. One thing Magpul has done is get into a market with a quality product at a competitive price. I see these doing quite well. |

Exactly. Not only do I want to have mags for the rest of my life, but I'd like my kids and possibility grand kids to enjoy what it was like to have non communist mags in America. You're doing your kids and possibly grand kids an injustice by only worrying about if you have mags to last your lifetime (if even that). |

Yeah, I always heard they don't make hardly crap on pistols, but mags they do. If someone comes in and really starts cutting into that market share who knows, might cause them to drop prices a bit to at least be semi-competitive with the Magpul mags. |

Who cares how many mags someone has shoot your pistol and let people make up their own mind what they need. Most chest rigs do not even have 6 spare pistol mags. Not everyone is a tier 1 mall ninja like some and have 96 mags and probably no ammo.
Let us rejoice as Glock owners we may soon have cheap mags that are just as reliable as OEM and made in 'Merica! |

Oh, fair point. It would apply to me however, if I lived in America, which I don't't (I live in Argentina). Down here we have many kinds of stupid, just not the 'high' capacity mag ban kind. Our kind of stupid is the kind that puts Glock mags in out market for a retail price of around 60 bucks a pop.

The statement I heard from magpul was they were indeed drop free under several conditions tested. They would freeze the magazine and heat up the gun. And free the gun and heat up the magazine. Heat both, freeze both. And they would still drop free. I'll have to try them out, but I'll bye 10 out the gate based solely on my experience with magpul's other products. Not "fanboyism" I just like stuff that works. |
