I have had no mag related failures in my sub 2k with the 33rd Korean Kahn mags. I have had some fte's from a cold dirty gun with sleazy ammo but everything has fed. I was thinking that the Korean mags might need to break in because the edges were sharp but so far no issues.
I like them in my sub2k. They are kind of a perfect budget fit. |

I'm very happy with them and the price is close to 1/2 what I paid for factory mags. |

| I have had the 17 rounders in the past and now have 15 15 rounders of those 6 drop free the rest don't. I also had some of the 33 rounders in the past. To me most of them don't load as easily as a factory Glock mag but they all fed without any issues. |

i'll add in my current review:
i got in 4 (2 G17s, 2 G19s) mags off the EE a few weeks back; like new (*no scuffs, wear, etc on the mags...they were probably only used once or none at all); they were KCIs used it in a 600+ rnd 2 day John Farnam (HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS CLASSES!) advanced handgun course day one, range drill one: started to load up the G19 mags...spring tension on the G19s/G17 mags were noticibly "weaker" than any glock springs i've had on the first actual loadup, i suspected problem already! mag was almost full, but no tension to push the bullets up as the spring had remained compressed and stuck on the bottom...i gave it a jar and it popped back up; i went on ahead and went through the drills it was a sign of things to come––the G19 mags would consistantly and often have malfs, including one double feed, 2 failures to feed (empty chamber), and a few malfs it got worse when they got into the mud and snow i did get to work on my malf drills quite a bit 
the G19 mags ended up performing the WORST (worse than any banned glock mag i 've had...almost as bad as some promags/USAs i've had...); the G17s did ok...still had a couple ''no-feeds''/weak feeds., but the G19s were POS––between the inconsistant feeding and very poor spring tension when not in use, i do NOT recommend them i suspect the culprits were a combination of weak springs and poor followers (i think the followers were being pushed/tilted too far to the side/back, causing ti to bind) |

Got 5 of the KCI mags from CDNN. Cleaned out some excess plastic from inside the mag body before using. When shooting with a stacked thumbs grip the mags would sometimes fail to lock back (due to my thumb slightly riding the slide release). Put in Wolff extra power mag springs and no problems since. Very happy with them for range use.

The spring kinda rattled in it empty and it felt weaker when I started loading than my Glock mag. When it's fully loaded the rounds rattle a little too. It'll be a while before I get to shoot it, but I'll definitely be adding a Wolff spring for it to my next Brownell's order. Sorry that wasn't more helpful.

Replace the springs and clean/ cut the flashing and you are good to go.
I picked mine up when CTD had them for less than 10 bucks for two. got 30 of them (G19). Picked up 6 33's. The stock springs are junk. The bodies, followers and floorplates are fine. Just clean the extra flashing. These are my range/ beater mags. At the same time an on line vendor was clearing out all of their glock stock. I was able to score all the springs I needed for like 1.50 each and like 4 bucks for the 33's.

Picked a few up at the gun show today g19 15 rounders and fist thing I did was to take them apart and clean the flashing up.
The springs felt stiff and could only load 13 rounds into them but plan on switching the springs out anyway. Going to use them as range mags and last resort defense mags so I'm not overly worried on if they malfunction as it keeps the skill sharp on clearing them. |

I saw them selling for $18 but I got them for $12. $18 -$34 for the KCI 33 round ones $12-$18 for the 15 round ones Now these were at a gun show and on tables, the private dealers had the higher prices and the ,dealers had the cheaper prices. I did see quite a few people buying them up |

I have used a couple of the 33rnd mags. They worked, but the baseplates were a little shoddy as far as fit
We also used the standard KCI 15rnd G19 mags on the range and they lasted at least a 1+ years before we had to replace them (some shorter, some longer) |

"Return of the five-YO ZOMBIE THREAD!"   The fifteen I bought are also holding up well, but I replaced the springs with Wolff 31/33 Round XP's immediately (no reason - I just didn't like 'the feel' of the SoK ones)

| The Gen 2 KCI G17 magazines have performed great for me. On my scale compared to a new Gen 5, the weights are identical. They are a bit harder to load than an OEM, but I always switch to the WOLFF +10% springs anyway. One thing that’s great about these is the fact that they work 100% in non Glock guns. Works great in my XP PRO, and my RXM. Can’t beat the price for less than $9.00 Theses are all I buy now, but I’ll test some of those McGar magazines when they come out. |
