I tested a sample of one 31-round magazine a few days ago, and it functioned flawlessly through two fully-loaded cycles. I definitely like being able to see the rounds as a quick visual check. That would definitely be a handy feature in a sub gun. I'm not sure that I feel the need for standard capacity magazines that are fully enclosed by the grip.
I'm curious if anyone has tried adding a Glock factory +2 baseplate to one of these extended magazines. Just looking at how the spring compresses inside the 31-round mag, it seems like the angle of the + baseplate might allow the spring to compress more naturally at the bottom. It may not make a difference in the end, but it was an observation that was possible because of the clear magazine body. |

Gonna have to contact ETS, I just got another funky one right out of the package. If it wasn't new from the package I'd suspect it was used and actually melted

That is what's known as a short shot meaning the mold wasn't fully filled. Please email customer service and we will get it replaced for you. Thanks for the picture, we will use it as a learning tool. This should have been caught in QC. We appreciate your business! |

I fired off a quick email to ETS this afternoon and got a response back within maybe 10 minutes, and Amy got everything resolved AND set up my MIL discount at the same time. I'm looking forward to getting some range time on the replacement for eval! |

I have 5 of the ETS Glock 19 magazines and tried to do a pistol class last weekend. I was using steel ammo by wolf and they would not feed the steel ammo. The magazines would bind up with the steel and the rounds would just dump out. It happened on all 4 magazines that I tried. I had good luck with them when going to the farm and shooting during christmas but I was not shooting 1400 rounds in 2 days either. The ETS magazines were a complete failure at the pistol class. Not going to buy anymore because I shoot a lot of steel and do not have time for this. I know people have had good luck with these magazines but they were a complete failure with the steel ammo. I used OEM Glock 19 magazines and not a single issue with the steel cased ammo.

I think it has something to do with the lubricity of the plastic against the brass, steel, or aluminum of the rounds case. I have had problems with steel and with brass that had been reloaded several times and was not "shiney slick." I haven't had a problem with my G18 mags yet but they don't have the rounds through them yet. |

I just ran a test today with wolf and Tula and they ran fine. There is no doubt that steel ammo has a much higher level of friction. That friction can exasperate a binding problem where the mag transitions from a double stack to a single stack. I'm guessing that most of the time when it bound up on you there were 9 ,8 ,or 7 rounds left in the mags. When we send you the new mags they will have a new version of follower. Even though these failures were pretty rare, we wanted to do everything we could to reduce the chance that steel could cause a bind. I know a lot of you love shooting steel ammo but when doing in depth testing it becomes very obvious that steel is much less reliable than brass. That said it's great for the range please just get better ammo for carry/defense. All of that said, we expect our mags to run steel ammo just like an OEM mag. And we know our customers wouldn't accept anything less. I was going to let everyone know that we have a new follower in a separate post but this seemed like a good time. |

We ended up doing a redesign of the 22 round spring back in September. I would love to get you a new 22 round mag with the new spring. We haven't had any spring related failures in the 22 rounders since we released the new springs. Just IM me your shipping info and we will get it on the way. |

I got two in the mail today to try out and noticed a few things. First was that they didn't load right. They didn't stagger the rounds properly and I was only able to fit 15 per for 17 round mags. I unloaded and reloaded and 17 went in fine. Also they don't drop free when full. Is that because the sides bulge a bit? Same problem in 2 Glock 19 mags, both brand new, both have had the springs replaced.  Attached File |

If you push straight down on the rounds when loading this will not happen. This is not a spring issue. |

Funny how I've never run into this problem with any other magazines. I do love these, they feed and cycle fine. But, I have to intentionally force rounds to load side to side with the two I have. One is store bought and one is direct from ETS. It just seems they shouldn't do it.

I will say this, once the springs take a set and become easier to load this issue is much less likely to happen because it's a lot easier to push the rounds straight in when the spring isn't so stiff. |

My safety was endangered most by my own poor habits. There's no mag capacity sufficient enough to fight off obesity related diabetes, but ETS magazines will be with me just in case. :) |

Both of the g19 mags I purchased in the last month had problems with the followers binding after 2nd/3rd reload.
