I just recieved some "30 round" mags that were advertized on Gunbroker.... They just said 30 round 9mm magazines for a Glock.

They are actually 33 round Glock 18 magazines, still in factory brown paper. Well they were in factory brown paper, with military style markings.

Has anyone else seen this. It's my first high capacity magazine order for a glock. Is it normal, are they all like that?

If you're asking if they're all wrapped in brown paper, the answer is "no."   If you got them for less than about $33 each, then you did o.k.

Did they look like this?...









I've never gotten factory Glock mags in brown paper, only clear plastic.  YMMV.

KAI or Glock factory?

Midway had Glock factory mags for the same price.

Let me add to my previous post:  If they're Korean mags, and you paid over $2 each, then you probably got screwed!

Really that little, or is my sarcasm meter broken?

Cabela's has them marked down to $19 and some change...are they really that crappy?

They are pretty crappy.  Very difficult to load to capacity, and they fail to feed at times.  They are okay for shooting at the range, but I decided not to get them after trying out a friends.  I buy the factory ones and wait for them to go on sale for around $30.

KCI mags. I owned them. I won't buy them again.

When you're talking about buying an item that lasts a really long time, i.e., Glock magazine, then buying a second-rate, Korean-made magazine just doesn't compute.  Glock magazines are THE bargains of the semi-auto handgun field.

Cool, looks like i'll steer clear then.

I have a couple of factory G18 mags, but I saw these thinking they'd be GTG, guess not!
