Are the Glock FDE magazines available or are they a military only product?

I know they made them for an Army unit that does not exist, but are they out there for regular guys?

99% sure they are military only

They ("Gen 3" Glock 22 15+2 magazine) were a limited run for a DOD contract.
Haven't been made since then.

Some people have cerokoted Glock magazines FDE and sell them on auction sites.

Hahaha this!

What  would you put on the mags.... not saying you are getting rid of them .................. or would you?

Really just out of curiousity.

Man I really don't know what I would want for them. I will never sell them cause I am a glock guy and they are the only ones I have seen in person. Whats strange is they match neither Glock's  or Magpul's FDE or OD. Not sure where the color came from.

.40 mags will actually hold and feed 9mm. I tried this the other day on a whim with a factory 22rd .40 mag. Held 25 9mm and fed all rounds fine through a 19. Definitely not stable enough for defensive use, but it works well enough for plinking.

ETA, I have one of these OD mags. It does not match the OD frame from Glock, but is a perfect match to my factory Dark Earth 19. It goes in my collection of rare Glock stuff with my orange G22 mag.

They match my Gen 3 and Gen 4 FDE 22s just fine.

I've seen some on the market. Friend has 3 or 4 of them. I'd imagine they fetch a nice premium though

Yup, I had to run a steel challenge match with .40 mags. Somehow my g17 mags didn't make it back into my range bag the night before. They ran without a hiccup surprisingly, though I only loaded them to 10.

This really peaks my interest. I am going to begin a search for them and, hopefully come up with something somewhere.  Maybe some turd swirl brown, or camel spit grey!  hahaha, no seriously though.  I want I want I want!
