Thanks OP. I can’t decide if I should pull the trigger on two or not. Kind of trying to save up for another pistol

Thanks OP. Glad to see these are available now. I’m somewhat surprised to see they are A) still in stock after 4 days with what was originally being reported as only 1K available and B) the relative lack of interest across various online forums. I’ve seen this sale mentioned on 3 different sites including here and the main HK forum. Each thread only has a couple of responses. I figured there were a lot of folks like myself just waiting to buy these! I guess I was wrong

I still still have the 4 15 rounders that I got cheap on Black Friday still in the ziplock bag they shipped in. The 2 extra round capacity isn’t that big of a deal to me. Eventually I might grab a couple

When I eventually get a vp9 I'll get more 1u rounders. Did just get a 1e round vp40 mag to make 3. I know I need more and will eventually get more.

I had a chance to test out my new 17 rounders today, putting 400 rounds through 2 of them. Flawless function as I expected. Smooth loading and no matter how goofy I intentionally was while stuffing in rounds, I couldn’t induce any sort of jam.
There might be a slightly stiffer feel while loading but I’m not 100%. It could’ve been because they were new? The only other thing I noticed was getting the last round in while using a UpLula magazine loader was difficult or impossible. I guess with everything squeezed in there, there wasn’t room for the mag loader “arm”. I don’t think it’s a big deal, just something I noticed. |

The 15 rnd ones pop up lightly used around $25 all the time. |

Are the 17rd mag bodies longer than the 15rd mag bodies or are they just using a different follower in a 15 round mag body?

The baseplate is ever so slightly thicker....so slight that unless you’re comparing the two side by side, you wouldn’t notice. |

It just now occurred to me that these 17 round mags, being the same size as the previous 15 round mags, will fit in my USP Compact using the Xgrip spacer and allow for a fairly low profile and reliable way to get 17+1 into the otherwise relatively low-capacity USP Compact....

My 17 round magazines came in today, decided to try out a random idea.
I pulled the follower/spring plate/ floor plate from a 17 round magazine and the spring from a 15 round magazine. I pulled one of my 13 round magazine USPC bodies and threw in the items listed above and was able to load 15 rounds.  The USPC was unable to work with the magazine though as the floor plate is too thick and contacts the front of the frame on the USPC. I swapped the floor plate of the setup to a flush fit USPC floor plate and found I could load 14 rounds into the magazine. Was able to hand cycle and it did lock open on last round.   Probably could shave the 17 round floor plate down to fit into the USPC but I'm betting the 15 round spring is over compressed, with 15 rounds in a USPC body. |

I’m very interested in seeing how far HK takes the magazine round count expansion...
I’d love to see some 12 round flush VP9SK mags...13 rounders turned to 15s, 15s into 17s Will it spread to the USP line? I bet they could make some serious $$ just in magazine or conversion kit sales alone |

I took apart one of the 17rd mags and installed the follower/spring/locking plate into a 13-rd VP9SK mag. I can now easily load 15rds into it and it still has about 5mm of leeway when pushing down on the 15th round. I'm pretty confident that it will work perfectly but I'm still going to test it out when I can get to a range (that's open).

Quote HistoryQuoted: Got mine today. Holy hell, the 17th round is a bitch to load! There is a noticeable increase in the amount of pressure needed to fill it up. Also a Maglula won’t load that last round...not enough room for the “arm” and round #17 to fit at the same time. One good thing I noticed about the stronger spring though. I frequently have failures to lock back the slide on an empty mag due to my hand contacting the slide release lever. I don’t ride my thumb on top of it, more like sideways pressure. The last time I went to the range though I only used the 17 rounders to test them out and had ZERO failures to lock back. Time will tell if that continues but so far for me that has been a big plus. I read someone else report this as well... |

I've noticed on empty, the pistol ejects the mag with a bit more force than the 15 rounds. Probably goes into what you're talking about. I have yet to have any issues loading the 17th round though, both of my mags are easy to load the last round. |
