At current Glock mag pricing, I would rather pay a few dollars more for real Glock mags with steel liners an witness holes. If Glock mags start costing $50 or more I might start looking at the Magpul mags more seriously.

I got one of the 17 rounders for my glock 19 just to be a range mag. I got it for 15 bucks.
It has been flawless so far, probably 100 rounds through that mag. |

I bought five because I got them for $15 each.
Considering I have a bunch of glock mags I got at that price or cheaper, I won't be making a switch. Of the five, two will not drop free. So in short: Glock>Magpul |

I have shot them and ran them through some mud. I wish they had round count holes, but they run fine regardless.
Since I am shooting competitions where mags get dropped all the time, I will be slowly changing over to the magpuls. I haven't found them locally though. Mine all came from Midway. |

I want to try some for sure. I think Magpul should make these mags in 9mm and 40 S&W @ 140mm in length. I think there would be a real market for a one piece limited legal mag.
The only thing I would wonder is how well they would drop empty it seems the after market aluminum extensions extra weight helps there. |

Got three to try for $16 each at Cabelas. I wish it had more witness holes, but I like the easy off base plate. So far they worked fine at an IDPA match the other night.

I bought 5 of the Glock 17 magazines to try out. I have plenty of OEM mags, but these ones will be the range beaters. If Magpul ever releases a .40 version I will buy some of those as well for the same purpose to keep from beating my duty magazines up.
Some observations: The body feels stiffer than the OE Glock. There is no large 9mm markings on the magazine. The follower and the body both have very small print. This will be a negative if/when the .40 versions are released. The OE Glock mags are way better in that regard. I don't miss the witness holes, but I don't shoot competitions that require me to load x number of rounds. Knowing the magazine is full is good enough for me. The floorplate is really nice and much simpler than the OE design. If there was one area where I think the GL17 magazine will do better than the OE design is the feed lips. If Magpul got it right(which I'm sure they did) the feed lips will hold up better to heavy use. The metal and plastic combo on the OE mags likes to separate after heavy use, eventually exposing the steel liner. Once the liner is exposed, the OE magazine's feed lips are a lot more susceptible to damage during a hard drop. Of course it's rare, but I've seen it happen. I will pretty much use these magazines exclusively for my G17 so hopefully they work out well. If not I have OE mags to use as well and Magpul will take care of any issues. For shits and giggles, once we get some triple digit weather here I'll leave a magazine out on the rear patio loaded and see how it handles the heat. |

How is the weight of the Magpuls compared to OEM?

I'd have to weigh them but they "feel" lighter.
Ran 250 rounds through my 5 magazines. 1 magazine would not lock the slide back on empty, but would hand cycling it. The other 4 worked without any issues. |

I found some Korean made mags for G17 and G19 at a local gun store that allegedly were made for the South Korean military. Their construction appeared EXACTLY like Glock factory mags, and they said they'd sold over a hundred of them without a single complaint and with lots of positive feedback. They are 15 bucks each. They came in a paper package with no brand name, but marked for the appropriate gun and marked "Made in Korea." Anyone hear of these? I was thinking of grabbing one and trying it out.
CDNN's pricing is fantastic, btw. Is their shipping free on small orders? If so, then I'll spend the extra 5 bucks for the peace of mind of the factory mag. |

I have three of the KCI for my G17 and they work flawlessly in my Gen 2 pistol. Two of them had some flashing from the mold process that needed to be sanded off, but other than that no issues what so ever. I got them for $9 each a while back and figured it was worth a shot for beater mags. |

I have two KCI mags, and three Magpul mags. All have been fine. The original bodies on my Magpul mags didn't want to feed very well in my 19 and 26, but the new bodies work perfect.

That's how a Glock feels to someone whose used to a metal gun. I have no doubt that the Magpul mags are inferior to Glock mags, but they'll make good, cheap range beater mags for those who want something cheaper. |

I bought 2 just to play with. Not sure how many rounds I ran through them last weekend, but I noticed a couple issues. First, they are slightly smaller in circumference than Glock mags as they are loose in my kydex mag pouches. Not a big deal as the pouches can be tightened, but it is noticeable. Second, one of the two mags will not activate the slide stop. I tried that mag in 3 different guns and slide never stayed open after the last round. There were no other functional issues with the 2 mags I've got.
I'll buy more of the Magpul mags even with these two issues. |

I have 12 of them and they all work great in my 19. They all feed perfectly and lock the slide back. My carry mags are OEM, but all of my practice mags are Magpul.

I like Magpul products "a lot" but if you look close a a factory Glock Mag it's perfect & they work flawlessly for the money, that being said I will still buy a Magpul Mag just because.

Another 150 rounds through the Magpul magazines this week magazines without issue. I say they have a winner, just waiting on price to decrease.
