I have several and see no need whatsoever to mess with mags that function 100% reliably, ya might want to sell them one day as they bring a healthy sum in thier "original" condition.

I'd have to agree with mr_wilson. However, if you do decide that you just have to change the followers, make sure that you keep the original followers in case you decide to sell the mags.

In my 19 I had to put the "9mm3" followers in both my 10rd & 15rd mags to get reliable feeding.

I bought a refurbished 19 a couple of years ago and the 2 15rd mags that came with it already had the "9mm3" followers in them. I was under the inpression that these were the original ones. hummm. The 10rd mags have "2183-1" followers and have worked fine. In the couple of years that I've had the 19 neither mag/ follower has given me any trouble. In fact the only time that I had a problem with it was when I 1st started reloading. Kinda forgot to put powder in a couple of shells.  But I guess better that than too much powder.Jamie |

So what are "9mm3" followers, who makes them, and why are they better? |

The "9mm3" is the latest design hi-cap follower (or it used to be). I've heard tales of a #4 but haven't seen it yet, and don't know if the #4 is for 10rd or 15rd mags. It is made by Glock. Glock is always changing their followers. I've seen 3 different types for 9mm, 4 for 40cal, and 2 for the G21. The main difference is probably the feeding angle. According to the people over on Glocktalk if you send a G19 mag to Glock with feeding problems they replace the follower with a 9mm3 regardless of whether it is a 10rd or a 15rd. All I know is my gun went from 97% reliability to 100% reliability in a hurry.

The magazines I picked up look like the one on the far left: www.glockmeister.com/3genmags.shtml
They are not drop free after all and the floor plates are stamped 455. I'm hoping these will work in my G19 but I'm not sure they will at this point. Only one way to find out! |

M4arc,
What markings are on the top of your followers? |

Would they be visable while the mag is together? If so, they have no markings but I haven't taken them apart yet. |

Yes. They will be on top. Let us know how they work.

Thanks. They don't have any visible markings. Hopefully I can get to the range soon and try them out.
